Best Dry Rub Grilled Pork Chops Over Cannellini Greens Recipes

SPICE-RUBBED GRILLED PORK CHOPS

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.

Ingredients

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.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA RUB

A lot of purchased barbecue sauces are really high in sugar. If you need to watch the amount of sugar in your diet, try grilling pork chops with this flavorful rub, instead. The rub goes on in advance so the flavors can penetrate the chops.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

6 (5 ounce) boneless pork loin chops, cut 1-inch thick
avocado cooking oil spray
1 ½ tablespoons smoked paprika
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

Combine smoked paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic, and cayenne in a small bowl.
Pat chops dry with a paper towel and evenly distribute dry ingredient mixture on front and back of each chop. With fingertips, lightly rub dry ingredient mixture into the chops on both sides.
Place chops on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
Remove rubbed chops from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
While chops are getting to room temperature, clean the grate of an outdoor gas grill and preheat to medium heat.
When the grill is ready, lightly spray chops with avocado oil spray.
Lightly oil the grill grates, place chops on the grill, and cook for about 3 minutes. Rotate chops 90 degrees to create a criss-cross grill pattern and continue grilling for 3 minutes. Turn chops and grill until pork chops are no longer pink inside, about 4 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Remove to a serving platter and allow to rest under a foil tent, for about 5 minutes. Serve warm.
