There are pork chops and then there are smoked pork chops. The rub has just the right amount of sweetness and saltiness that complements the smoky flavor perfectly. Oak is my wood of choice for these but feel free to substitute any hard wood chips.

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon cracked coriander seed
1 tablespoon chipotle powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin powder
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
3/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
4 double-cut pork chops
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
4 medium zucchini (about 2 pounds)
2 ears corn, cleaned and kernels cut off the cob (about 2 cups)
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
Juice of 1 lime
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup dill, finely chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta

Steps:

  • To a large skillet, add the cracked coriander seeds, chipotle powder, cumin powder, smoked paprika and mustard powder. Toast over low heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just toasted, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, then mix with the salt.
  • Heat up your grill with lump charcoal, making a hot and a slow zone. Dry the pork chops with paper towels. Evenly sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with the spice mixture.
  • Drizzle the seasoned pork chops with olive oil, and then place them on the hot side of the grill. Cook for about 8 minutes per side to develop a nice crust, then move to the slow zone of the grill and put the lid down. Continue to cook until the pork chops reach 140 degrees F. Remove to a platter or cutting board. Let the chops rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the zucchini into noodles with a spiral vegetable slicer on the medium setting. Alternatively, use a Japanese mandoline or a sharp chef's knife to cut the zucchini into thin planks, then into strips lengthwise.
  • Toss the zucchini noodles, corn and cherry tomatoes in a large bowl with the lime juice, garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine, then stir in the dill and feta. Pour into a large serving bowl and serve alongside the pork chops.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA RUB



Grilled Pork Chops with Smoked Paprika Rub image

A lot of purchased barbecue sauces are really high in sugar. If you need to watch the amount of sugar in your diet, try grilling pork chops with this flavorful rub, instead. The rub goes on in advance so the flavors can penetrate the chops.

Categories     BBQ & Grilled Pork Chops

Time 8h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 (5 ounce) boneless pork loin chops, cut 1-inch thick
avocado cooking oil spray
1 ½ tablespoons smoked paprika
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine smoked paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic, and cayenne in a small bowl.
  • Pat chops dry with a paper towel and evenly distribute dry ingredient mixture on front and back of each chop. With fingertips, lightly rub dry ingredient mixture into the chops on both sides.
  • Place chops on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
  • Remove rubbed chops from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • While chops are getting to room temperature, clean the grate of an outdoor gas grill and preheat to medium heat.
  • When the grill is ready, lightly spray chops with avocado oil spray.
  • Lightly oil the grill grates, place chops on the grill, and cook for about 3 minutes. Rotate chops 90 degrees to create a criss-cross grill pattern and continue grilling for 3 minutes. Turn chops and grill until pork chops are no longer pink inside, about 4 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Remove to a serving platter and allow to rest under a foil tent, for about 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly throughout, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side over medium-high heat, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a knife.
  • To prevent the pork chops from drying out, marinate them in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, spices, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • For a smoky flavor, use a charcoal grill or smoker. If you're using a gas grill, add a few wood chips to the grill grates to create smoke.
  • Serve the pork chops with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

These smoky grilled pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that will impress your family and friends. So fire up the grill and get grilling!
