Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the lemon juice and the garlic and heat until garlic is tender. Remove from heat.
Arrange the chops on a plate and coat top side of each chop with the butter mixture. Place chops on the grill butter side down.
Sear over high heat for 1 minute, coating the top side of the chops with the butter mixture while the other side is grilling. Flip the chops and sear the other side for 1 minute.
Turn the meat, cover the grill and cook 3 to 5 more minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the remaining butter mixture. Pork chops are done when internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

My family & I really like highly seasoned food. As is, I knew this would be a very bland recipe. I mixed in Montreal steak seasoning with the lemon juice & a little water & marinated pork steaks for about 4 hrs. Then I poured off the marinade & mixed in the butter & brought it to a boil & then basted the pork steaks as recipe suggests. I fixed them in the broiler & they were delicious. Would have given a four but as stated as is I think the recipe is bland.

I added some oregano, parsley, and rosemary to the recipe. It added a lot of extra flavor.

This was absolutely delicious. At first I wasn't sure about putting the buttered chops on the high heat of the coals, so I waited until they cooled a bit. Next time I won't. The high heat for some reason doesn't burn it, it gives it a great sort of crust. Even my picky kids ate whole chop each. And it was easy to make - you didn't have to plan ahead to marinate. Definitely a keeper. I actually made extra of the butter mixture to use as a sauce for the side dish (couscous or rice.)

These were okay, I didn't find they had a lot of flavor myself. But they were very moist and tender. Make sure you don't over cook them though. I let mind marinade overnight, but that didn't seem to help much.

This was GREAT. Especially for low-carb diets, but even if not. I added mesquite seasoning, garlic and black pepper and marinated about an hour. Also I added tenderizer because the cuts I used were very cheap. Came very tender & very tasty. Thanks for the great recipe!
