GARLIC LIME MARINATED PORK CHOPS



GARLIC LIME MARINATED PORK CHOPS image

Categories     Pork

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (6 oz each) lean boneless pork chops
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 lime, juice of
lime zest
salt and fresh pepper

Steps:

  • Directions: Trim any fat off pork. In a large bowl season pork with garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper.

Place pork chops on the broiler pan and broil about 4-5 minutes on each side or until nicely browned.

Tips:

  • For the Best Flavor: Use high-quality, thick-cut pork chops. Bone-in pork chops are also a great option for extra flavor.
  • Tenderize the Pork Chops: To ensure tender and juicy pork chops, consider using a meat mallet or a fork to tenderize them before cooking.
  • Marinate the Pork Chops: Marinating the pork chops in the garlic-lime marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, will infuse them with delicious flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Pork Chops: Pork chops are best cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium. Overcooked pork chops will become dry and tough.
  • Serve Immediately: Once cooked, allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them retain their juices and stay tender.
