What Is A Ribeye Pork Chop?

A ribeye pork chop comes from the rib portion of the loin. It’s the chop with a big bone running along one side. It used to be called a Rib Chop Center. But, a few years ago The National Pork Board introduced new names for pork chops that coincide with the names we use for beef steaks.

This name change is meant to add consistency and make it easier for consumers. And so, you can think of a pork ribeye chop as like a ribeye beef steak on the bone. If you head over here, you can see the other types of pork chops with steak-like names.

I love learning about pork. That’s probably because I’m a bit of a pork geek and people seem to like it. My post for How to Roast Pork Perfectly is the most popular one on my site, with over 1.5 million visitors per year! And this post for perfect pork chops is pretty great too!

Why Use Jam With Pork?

Pork and sweet fruit are buddies. And when the fruity flavor is intensified, like in apple sauce or in a jam or preserves, it’s even better. This ribeye chop recipe uses preserves in two ways.

First, it’s mixed with Dijon mustard as a glaze for the chops. Then, it’s mixed with mashed fresh raspberries, cilantro, lime juice, and a bit of soy sauce to make a dip for the cooked pork. The colors and flavors in this dish are truly amazing. I can’t wait for you to try it!

Can I Cook Ribeye Pork Chops On The Grill?

Yes, absolutely. Prepare your grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Place your seasoned pork chops with a bit of oil on the grill. Cook covered for about 5 minutes, then flip and brush with the jam mustard glaze. Continue cooking for another 4-8 minutes until the chops have reached your desired doneness, between 145-155°F.

Let them rest for a few minutes and serve that delicious juicy chop with a side of the berry cilantro sauce.

DESCRIPTION

A pan-seared pork chop recipe with a berry-Dijon glaze and a berry-cilantro dipping sauce. 

Instructions for cooking on the grill can be found in the post above or by listening to the podcast episode.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in ribeye (rib) pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 4 Tbsp. mixed berry jam, divided
  • 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 20 fresh raspberries
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp. soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. Warm a large oven-safe skillet over high heat on the stovetop.
  3. Blot the pork chops dry with kitchen towel and then rub each one with 1/2 teaspoon of the oil, making sure to oil both sides of each chop. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper, using 1/4 teaspoon of salt and of pepper per chop.
  4. When skillet is very hot, put the pork chops in. Reduce heat to medium-high.
  5. While the chops cook on the first side, combine the jam and mustard in a small bowl. Once the chops are well-browned on the underside (about 4-5 minutes), flip. Brush tops liberally with the mustard sauce and then transfer the skillet to the oven.
  6. Bake until internal temperature of the chops is 145F for rare or 155F for medium (use an instant-read thermometer to get the temperature reading), about 4-6 minutes.
  7. While the pork chops are in the oven, use a fork to mash the raspberries in a small bowl.
  8. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of jam, the cilantro, soy sauce, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Taste. Raspberries always have different levels of sweetness. If the sauce is too sweet, add up to 1/2 teaspoon more lime juice. If too tart, add an extra teaspoon of jam.
  9. When chops are cooked to desired doneness, transfer to a plate and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve with the berry-cilantro sauce on the side for dipping.
