(Allow 5 to 6 minutes for medium-rare doneness [145 degrees ] or 7 to 8 minutes for medium doneness [160 degrees ].) (For a gas grill: Preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place chops on greased grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.) Remove chops from grill. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
- To serve, place chops on a serving platter. Spoon salad along chops. Drizzle with additional olive oil.
Tip
- *Chef Note: Ask your butcher to "french" the bonescut the meat away from the end of a chop, so that part of the bone is exposed.
