Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the pork chops and rub to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Season both sides of the pork chops evenly with the spice mixture.
Grill the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
While the pork chops are grilling, prepare the cilantro lime vinaigrette. In a blender or food processor, combine lime juice, cilantro, honey, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, ground cumin, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed with a pinch of salt or more lime juice.
Drizzle the cilantro lime vinaigrette over the grilled pork chops before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
