Ingredients
- 2 tomahawk pork chops
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoon dry rub for pork
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Dry off pork chops on both sides. Salt and pepper them generously.
- Generously rub the dry rub into the meat.
- Smoke the chop for about 2 hours until it reaches 120°F. Get your grill very hot.
- Baste the steaks with melted butter. Reverse sear the chops on a hot grill or under the broiler until the internal temperature reaches 140°F. Let them rest tented with foil for 5 minutes, in which time the temperature should increase to 145°F.

Notes
- Use compound butter to add additional flavor to the chops. Here are some examples:
- Let the pork rest on the counter for 30 minutes to take the chill off of the meat.
- What to do With Leftovers
- Promptly refrigerate any leftovers in aluminum foil or an air-tight container. It is best not to freeze leftover pork. It tends to get dry.
- If you have lots of pork left, there are all kinds of things to do with it. Slice the pork thin and top a fresh salad for an easy, complete meal. Add it to sandwiches and wraps with some vegetables. Use it for omelets and quesadillas, or toss it in pasta dishes and stir-fries at the last minute. Add it to home fries to make a hash and serve it with eggs for breakfast.
