Ingredients for Blackstone Blackened Pork Chops
- Pork chops – I prefer to use boneless pork chops for this recipe so they cook evenly on the griddle. You can use bone-in pork chops just keep in mind that you may need to add some cook time.
- Butter – You can use salted or unsalted butter. Melted butter will help bind the seasoning to both sides of the pork chops.
- Seasonings – To make the blackened seasoning, you will need the following spices and herbs: smoked paprika, ground black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Helpful Tools
- Cooking dome – This will keep the pork chops from drying out.
- Blackstone tools – Blackstone specific tools are super handy because they are extra durable and you know they are safe for the surface of your Blackstone griddle.
How to Make Blackstone Blackened Pork Chops
Mix together the spices in a small bowl and set it to the side.
Pat pork chops dry with paper towel. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and brush on top of the pork chop.
Generously sprinkle blackening seasoning on the buttered side, then flip and repeat the process.
Once the Blackstone is preheated, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter on the hot cooking surface.
Place the pork chops onto the Blackstone in the melted butter. Once there is a good char on the first side, flip it over and cook the other side for 4-5 minutes.
Then turn the heat down to medium, slide the pork chops together and cover with a cooking dome. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This should take about 5-6 minutes.
Once fully cooked, pull pork chops off of the cooktop and let them rest for a few minutes. Then serve and enjoy.
Pro Tips
- Use an instant read meat thermometer so that you can get a quick and accurate internal temperature reading.
- Don’t heat the flat top griddle too hot or the pork chops will stick. Use a high heat, but keep an eye on how the pork chops are doing.
- For a nice zesty touch, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the pork chops as they are resting.
