Sprinkle pork chops with Chef Paul's Barbecue Seasoning. Let sit, in the refrigerator, for a few hours. When ready to cook, Preheat George Foreman Grill or cast-iron pan.

In last minute of cooking, either way, brush on some of the marinade. Cook for another minute. Remove. Let sit for a few minutes.
