Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 2 tablespoons Dry ranch seasoning mix
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ranch seasoning mix, buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 2

Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring all chops are evenly coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4

When ready to cook, remove the pork chops from the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature for about 15–20 minutes.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Alternatively, preheat your grill to medium heat.

Step 6

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.

Step 7

Carefully place the pork chops in the skillet or on the grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for a juicy, tender result.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pork chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
