Monster Chops
« on: September 25, 2017, 07:35:32 PM »
Was at the butcher and there acquired 2 bone in, pork chops that were huge. In structure they were like a porterhouse steak with a tenderloin on one side of the T bone and a strip steak on the other. There is a name for this chop but it escapes  me.
 [ Invalid Attachment ]
I have big hands in comparison, and they were cut thick, over 2".
 [ Invalid Attachment ]
Decided on low and slow cook, 250* to an IT of 145. Rubbed them with my standard pork rub.
 [ Invalid Attachment ]
Placed them in "Ole Fast Eddy" along with 2 sweet potatoes and gave them some smoke and heat..
 [ Invalid Attachment ]
Hit them with a little Stubbs to finish them off.

Cooked up some green beans and dinner was served.

It's a loin chop that cut from the center area of the whole loin.

Looks awesome. I seldom eat chops, and always wonder why when someone posts pics of them.

Very nice chops!

Do the potatoes have nails in them?

What non-meat things could you stuff them with?  I like apples with pork.  Could you make an apple stuffing, maybe some raisins, maybe use cornbread?  Maybe that sound horrid -- I just like those ingredients and wonder if they would work?  I think the hazelnut crust would work well with that combo.

Forgot about peaches, perfect with pork.  And I bet mango would be good too.  Maybe a mango chutney.
