How to Make Mushroom Pork Chops:
- Prepare a grill fire to about 350° using hickory or pecan for smoke flavor.
- Place pork chops on a baking sheet, pat dry with paper towels.
- Spray or brush with olive oil on both sides.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated garlic, pepper, salt, chili powder, dried thyme and smoked paprika.
- Sprinkle dry rub over both sides of the pork chops.
- Next, start the mushrooms.
- Slice the mushrooms into thin slices, we used a mandoline on the largest setting.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add minced garlic, cooking 2- 3 minutes until garlic becomes fragrant.
- Stir in sliced mushrooms with a wooden spoon and raise to medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring often until mushrooms are caramelized and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in fresh thyme. Keep mushrooms warm until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, grill pork chops over an indirect fire with the grill closed.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, turn pork chops and continue to cook with the lid closed another 10- 15 minutes until internal temperature of pork chops reach 145° using a digital meat thermometer.
- The thickness of the pork chops will determine the total cooking time. We had thick pork chops and they cooked in about 20 minutes.
- Remove pork chops to a rimmed baking sheet, rest 5 minutes.
- Spoon mushrooms over pork chops and serve immediately.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
How to Store and Reheat:
Store leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days. Store mushrooms in an airtight container up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
Slice pork chops and add to a skillet with olive oil and mushrooms to reheat over medium heat. Stir often until heated through.
TIPS FOR GRILLING PORK CHOPS:
The key to juicy and tender pork chops is using a digital meat thermometer. Pork is cooked through at 145°, so pork chops can be pulled from the grill at about 140° and they should come up to temperature if you let them rest for about 5 – 10 minutes under a foil tent. The longer you cook pork chops, the drier and tougher they will become.
We used loin chops for this recipe, bone-in pork chops work too and can be slightly more flavorful but might take a bit longer to cook.
Easy Recipes to Serve with Pork Chops:
Grilled Corn on the Cob is our absolute favorite side to make on the grill and goes perfectly with a juicy pork chop.
Grilled Ranch Potatoes are simple to make in a foil packet and full of delicious flavors.
Grilled Garlic Bread is always a great way to round out a meal on the grill. It cooks super fast and is perfectly crispy with delicious garlic flavor.
The rich flavor of the sauteed mushrooms is a great compliment to the smoky grilled pork chops or pan-fried pork chops. These garlic butter mushrooms would also be fantastic served over a pork tenderloin.
We also love to make this Mushroom Cream Sauce for juicy pork chops and mashed potatoes. The savory mushrooms and heavy cream make it a decadent addition to any pork recipe.
Add these delicious Mushroom Pork Chops to your grilling menu for dinner tonight and keep this great recipe in mind the next time you are entertaining guests. It’s the best pork chop recipe for any occasion with a short cook time and minimal effort.
