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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to help the rub adhere better.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
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).
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Drizzle fresh lime juice over the pork chops before serving to balance the smoky flavors with a bright, citrusy touch.
Step 8
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
