Pork chop

[1] Chops are commonly served as an individual portion, and can be accompanied with applesauce, vegetables, and other sides.

[2][3][4] The center cut or pork loin chop includes a large T-shaped bone and is structurally similar to the beef T-bone steak.

[6] The center-cut loin is often over 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick, and likened to a quality cut of beef due to its size and tenderness.

[7] A "Bacon Chop" is cut from the shoulder end and leaves the pork belly meat attached.

Improved breeding techniques have made it possible to cook pork to a lower temperature, helping it to remain juicy, while still being safe to eat.
