Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 garlic clove, minced (I used 2 cloves)
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 -6 boneless pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)

Steps:

Whisk together lime juice, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking well. Whisk in cilantro.
Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat.
Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper.
Oil grill rack, then grill pork chops, covered, turning over once, until just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes total.
Serve drizzled with some vinaigrette, and with remainder on the side.
Cooks' note: If you aren't able to grill outdoors, chops can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.
