Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the boneless pork chops on a clean cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the spicy rub.
Rub a thin layer of olive oil over both sides of each pork chop to help the seasoning adhere.
Evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of each pork chop, gently pressing it into the meat with your fingers.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Once the pan is hot, place the pork chops in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the pork chops for an additional 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
