Brined until juicy, rubbed with spices, and hit with tangy sauce, this weeknight pork chop is pumped with flavor. Fire up the grill, if you want to add smoke.
Note: The pork may arrive frozen for freshness. Store it in the refrigerator to defrost before cooking. If you need to defrost it same day, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water, and leave the tap running in a thin stream for about 30 minutes.
What You Get
Sweet corn
Peaches
Brined pork chop (see note below)
BBQ rub
BBQ sauce
What You'll Need
Olive oil
Salt
Butter
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil.
Step 2
Place the corn, unshucked, on the prepared pan, and roast until the husks are a little charred, about 25 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, cut the peaches in half, removing the pits. Remove the pork chop from the package and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the pork chop with about 2 teaspoons of the BBQ rub to coat.
Step 4
In a cast-iron skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the pork chop, fat-side down, and cook just until it begins to brown, 3-4 minutes. Flip the pork chop and add the peaches to the pan, cut-side up. Drizzle the peaches with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the pork is nearly firm or a meat thermometer registers 135°F when inserted into the thickest part, and the peaches are browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer the pork chop and roasted corn to a cutting board to rest, 5 minutes. Slice the pork across the grain. When the corn is cool enough to handle, shuck the corn, and spread with butter and season with salt.
Step 6
Transfer the buttered corn and sliced pork to plates. Dollop the pork with 2 tablespoons of the BBQ sauce. Spoon the roasted peaches and their juices alongside. Serve warm, with the remaining BBQ sauce for drizzling.
