How To Make jacques pepin's grilled pork chops

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Step 2
  Trim loin chops of excess fat and sinew.
• Step 3
  Sprinkle both sides of the chops with the salt, pepper, and chopped rosemary--pat the seasoning so they adhere to the meat.
• Step 4
  Pour the oil into a plate and dip the chops into the oil on all sides to coat lightly.
• Step 5
  Set the grill over high heat and allow it to get quite hot.
• Step 6
  Lay the chops at an angle to the ridges and cook for 2 minutes, until clearly marked. Turn them over, keeping the same angle, so the now visible marks align with the ridges. Cook for 2 minutes in this side. Turn the chops over again and now rotate them as well, so the visible marks are perpendicular to the ridges. Cook for 2 minutes, until a crisscross is clear. Turn the chops over for the third time, keeping them at the same angle. Cook for 2 minutes, so that the second side of the chops has been on the grill as long as the first side.
• Step 7
  Finally, stand the chops on their outside edges, balanced against the potato half or other prop. Brown for about 2 minutes, shifting the chop as needed so the entire edge is browned. Remove the chops to a platter and place in the oven for about 10 minutes, to allow them to decontract. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and serve.
