Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Ground coffee
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the ground coffee, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt to create the spice rub.
Step 3
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and rub each piece with a thin layer of olive oil.
Step 4
Generously coat each pork chop with the coffee spice rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure it sticks well.
Step 5
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining olive oil.
Step 6
Sear the pork chops for about 2 minutes on each side, or until a dark crust forms, but do not cook them through at this stage.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the pork chops for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a crisp green salad.
