Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.
Step 3
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, and rub both sides generously with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Drizzle the pork chops with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on each side and rub it in to help the spices adhere.
Step 5
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking. Lightly oil the pan if necessary.
Step 6
Place the pork chops in the grill pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to achieve grill marks.
Step 7
Flip the pork chops and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the second side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the pan and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Serve warm with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
