Ingredients
- 4 boneless loin pork chops 1-in/2.5cm thick
- Oil
Brine:
- 1 qt lukewarm water
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
Rub:
- 2 tbs high-quality sweet paprika
- 1 tbs high-quality smoky paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
Instructions
- Brining may be omitted if you prefer.
- Mix brine ingredients, stirring until sugar and salt are dissolved.
- Place pork chops in a deep dish and cover with the brine solution. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
- Mix rub ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
- Remove chops from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of chops with a bit of oil.
- Sprinkle rub on both sides of chops and rub into the meat.
- Heat a stovetop grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. If you are using a skillet, add 1 tbs of oil to the pan to prevent sticking. If using the grill, this is not necessary.
- Grill chops for 8-10 minutes on each side. Chops should register 170F/75C internally. If you desire chops well done, you can finish cooking in a 350F/180C oven for 5-10 minutes.
