Pork chops and steaks are individual-serve cuts taken from the loin, the long muscle that runs along the pig’s back. They’re one of the most popular ways to buy pork in Australia, equally at home on a weeknight dinner plate as they are on the barbecue.
Bone-in chops tend to be juicier than their boneless counterparts, as the bone helps insulate the meat during cooking. They cook quickly at high heat and pair well with apple-based sauces, mustard, or simple seasoning. Thickness matters — a chop cut too thin will dry out before it develops a good crust.
This category covers the range of loin chops and steaks, from centre-cut chops to butterfly steaks, in various preparations including bone-in and boneless options.
