Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Ground coffee
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the ground coffee, chipotle chili powder, brown sugar, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to help the rub adhere better.
Generously coat both sides of the pork chops with the spice rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure even seasoning. Set the chops aside to rest for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the seasoned pork chops to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the outside is caramelized and the internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes on a plate, loosely covered with foil, to retain their juices.
Drizzle fresh lime juice over the pork chops before serving to balance the smoky flavors with a bright, citrusy touch.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
