Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 450°F.
Rub the olive oil evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Season both sides of the pork chops with the salt and pepper.
Place the pork chops directly over the heat and grill for 2 minutes per side.
Move the pork chops to indirect heat and reduce the grill temperature to medium.
Continue cooking for 10–15 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
Use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the pork is cooked to a safe temperature before removing from the grill. Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. This is a basic grilled pork chop recipe, so you can easily customize it with your favorite seasonings or marinade before grilling.
