Grilling instructions
Have a very hot grill. Add oil, salt and pepper to season the pork chop. Sear hard on each side for about 8-10 minutes. Be sure to turn when needed.
Place in a hot oven at 375 F for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 150 F.
Put it back on the high heat grill and glaze the pork chop and keep turning it until a caramel crust forms.
Let the pork chop rest, and then carve it up.
