Ribs and sausage aren’t the only pork products fit for the BBQ! Expand your grilling horizons with succulent cuts like the pork rib chop, boneless loin chop, and tenderloin, and these pro tips for stepping up your grilling game.

• Pick a pork that’s prized by chefs like our Fresh to Market 100% Berkshire Kurobuta Pork, a sustainably raised heirloom breed renowned for its fantastic flavor, deep color, and top-notch tenderness.
• Choose a cut that's right for you:
  • The boneless loin chop is lean, approachable, versatile, and tasty, making it a fantastic and popular choice for all sorts of entrées.
  • The rib chop is similar in many ways but includes the bone, which adds extra flavor and helps the meat stay tender and moist while cooking.
  • The tenderloin is a long, slender, and boneless piece of meat that takes well to rubs and marinades and can be sliced at an angle after cooking to create medallions.
• Cook pork to an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare.
• Choose bone-in cuts (like rib chops, baby back ribs, or St. Louis ribs) for more flavor.
• For lean cuts like the pork loin or tenderloin, cook hot and fast over direct heat to sear the outside.
• For fattier cuts like pork shoulder/butt or ribs, smoke or roast low and slow to make the meat extra tender.
• If grilling over an open flame, watch out for flare-ups from the drippings.
• Let cooked pork rest 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
