Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 38m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 bone-in pork loin chops (about 1 inch thick)
1 tablespoon/15 mL cumin (ground)
1 tablespoon/15 mL brown sugar
2 dried chilies
1 teaspoon/5 mL whole cloves
1 teaspoon/5 mL coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL curry powder
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL cardamom powder
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL onion powder
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL cinnamon (ground)
1/4 teaspoon/1.25 mL garlic powder
1 teaspoon/5 mL kosher salt

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Place chiles, cloves, peppercorns, mustard and coriander seeds in a spice grinder. Grind until spices are a fine powder. Pour into a bowl and add remaining spices.
  • Place pork chops onto a baking sheet. Take rub and apply all over the front and back of the meat. Let stand at room temperature for up to 20 minutes. If you are making ahead of time, coat with spices, cover with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator. Let stand for 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature before placing onto​ the grill.
  • To prepare for charcoal grilling, remove the cooking grate and light the charcoal in a charcoal chimney (look for a red, ashen color to the briquettes). You will need enough charcoal to cover half the coal grate, about 2 layers thick. Place cooking grate over hot coals and open vent. Oil grate and place chops onto grill directly over the coals. Grill for 2 minutes per side. Move to the indirect cooking space (where there are no coals) and continue cooking for 4 to 6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature is between 160 and 165 F.
  • Remove from grill and cover with foil. Allow chops to rest for 5 minutes. If using a gas unit, set temperature for medium-high heat and cook 8 to 9 minutes per side or until internal temperature is right. After the meat has had a chance to rest, serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
  • Enjoy.

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.
