SPICE-RUBBED GRILLED PORK CHOPS



Spice-Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops image

Dry rubs are also a terrific way to season pork chops. Select chops of close to an inch in thickness - nothing flimsy - then grill them over steady medium heat. We opt for rib chops over the center-cut variety when cooking outdoors because their greater fat content helps keep them moist, and we always prefer bone-in chops for their juiciness. You might add a barbecue sauce on the side with these, but we relish their crispy surface unvarnished.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Pork Chop Willy's Grilling Rub
3 tablespoons sweet paprika, preferably Spanish
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon coarse salt, either kosher or sea salt
3/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
Six to eight 10- to 11-ounce bone-in pork rib chops, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
Vegetable oil spray

Steps:

  • At least 1 and up to 8 hours before you plan to grill the pork chops, prepare the dry rub, combining the ingredients in a small bowl. Coat the chops with the spice mixture, place them in a large plastic bag, seal, and refrigerate.
  • Fire up the grill, bringing the heat to medium (4 to 5 seconds with the hand test).
  • Remove the chops from the refrigerator and let them sit covered at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  • Spray the chops with oil and transfer them to the grill. Grill for 18 to 20 minutes total. Turn onto each side twice, rotating the chops a half turn each time to get criss-cross grill marks. The chops are done when just a hint of pink remains at the center. Serve hot.

SAUTEED SPICE RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH PAN SAUCE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 (1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch) thick center-cut loin pork chops, either rib or T-bone, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons paprika, preferably Hungarian
1 tablespoons chile powder, preferably Gebhardt
1 to 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons granulated garlic, or garlic powder
2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dry mustard, preferably Colman's
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1/2 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth
1/2 cup chicken or beef stock
1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs, such as sage, rosemary, thyme, savory, or dill (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Make rub: mix all ingredients together in a small bowl or jar (You can store it for a couple of months in a tightly sealed jar.)
  • Coat the chops generously with spice rub and let marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. Let refrigerated meat come to room temperature before cooking. Scrape off any excess rub and pat the chops dry.
  • In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over high heat. When the pan is hot enough to sear the chops but not burn them, add the chops. They should make a gentle hissing sound when they hit the pan, not an explosive sputter. Adjust the heat if the pan seems too hot or remove the pan from the heat for 30 seconds or so (count this time as part of the overall cooking time). Sear the chops on one side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until beginning to brown lightly. Turn the chops over and sear for 1 minute more.
  • Reduce the heat so that the chops continue to sizzle -- do not turn the heat so low that there are no more sizzling sounds (if the heat is too low, the chops will sweat and juices will exude from the meat and leave it dry. Cover the pan and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes more on the other side. The chops are done when the meat is firm but not hard when pressed with a finger. Better still, test them with an instant-read thermometer -- the meat should register 145 to 155 degrees and will still be acceptable at 160 degrees. For the juiciest results, remove the chops from the pan when they register 145 degrees, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes or so before serving, to stabilize the juices.
  • To make the pan sauce: pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan, leaving any meat juices. Adjust the heat to medium and add garlic. Stir, cook for 30 seconds, then add remaining ingredients, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce it over high heat until it just turns syrupy. Put the pork chops back into the pan and turn them several times in the sauce to transfer the flavors -- this should take no more than 30 seconds. Serve chops with sauce

Tips:

  • To achieve a flavorful and tender pork chop, marinate it for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This allows the spices and herbs to penetrate the meat and enhance its taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the pork chops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may result in steamed or soggy chops.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). For medium, cook to 155°F (68°C). And for well-done, cook to 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. You can also add a flavorful sauce or glaze to enhance the taste even further.
