If using pork chops, follow same instructions as chicken in Step 1, cooking until browned and chops reach minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Pork thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner chop, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.
-
If using NY strip steaks, follow same instructions as chicken in Step 1, cooking until steaks reach desired doneness, or 7-10 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.
