3 SUPER SMART PORK CUTS

FOR SUMMER GRILLING

Brad Leighninger, Pit Master champion, can help you look like a grilling rockstar with these summer grilling tips. Whether you have had grilled pork many times or never attempted it, Chef Leighninger gives you insider information on how to impress your family and friends with these three affordable pork cuts.

Pork Tenderloin

Here’s a showstopper for your next event. Pork Tenderloin is a simple, lean cut of pork to prepare. Give it a blast of high heat until it reaches an internal temp of 145 degrees, let it rest, and add your favorite sauce. No more. No less.

Ribeye Pork Chop

While Chef Leigninger walks you through the different cuts of the pork chop family, he shows how the ribeye pork chop – 1.5 to 2 inches thick with lots of marbling - keeps people craving more. Grill thick chops slowly to 120 degrees then turn up the grill to higher heat and finish the chop with a nice crust until the internal temp reaches 145 degrees.

Porterhouse Pork Chop

If you want a leaner and faster cooking chop, reach for the porterhouse pork chop. You will enjoy this nice combo of tenderloin and pork chop in one delicious, wholesome cut of pork. Given it is lean, it will cook fast. So you need to have your thermometer ready and remove at that magic temperature of 145.

The real secret to grilling pork to perfection is 145 degrees. It’s safe. It’s juicy. And yes, pink in the middle.

CRAVEABLE PROTEIN KEEPS YOU FIT

INCREDIBLE HEALTHY PROTEIN

STARTS AT THE FARM

Grandpa, father, and pig farmer Tom Graham shares how he and his family work together to provide safe, healthy protein for your plate.

“It is not about a paycheck. It is about providing for the community. We are providing food, “ Tom passionately shares.

Providing safe, wholesome pork starts at the farm. Tom opens his barn doors and invites you inside. As a multi-generation farm family, they strive to take the utmost care for the pigs.

How we raise pigs on the farm may vary, but advanced technology and innovation assist families like the Grahams to raise pork ethically, sustainably, and responsibly.
