Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy crust on your Kurobuta pork chops, make sure to pat them dry before searing. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent it from steaming.
  • Use a flavorful spice rub to enhance the taste of the pork chops. The recipe provided in the article uses a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder, but you can adjust the spices to suit your preferences.
  • Sear the pork chops over high heat to create a nice crust. This will help lock in the juices and keep the meat tender.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Spiced Kurobuta pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
