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.

Provided by Bibi

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:

  • Choose high-quality pork chops: Look for chops that are about 1 inch thick and have good marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
  • Use a flavorful spice rub: The spice rub in this recipe is a great way to add flavor to the pork chops. You can also experiment with other spice combinations to create your own unique flavor profile.
  • Don't overcook the pork chops: Pork chops are best when they are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking them will make them dry and tough.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: After grilling, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Spice-rubbed grilled pork chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice, and enjoy a satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
