Spice-Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops
These dry rub grilled pork chops are coated in a blend of crushed coriander seeds, chipotle chile powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and mustard powder. They're cooked using both direct and indirect heat for the best flavor and tenderness.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, cracked
- 1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon mustard powder
- Six (10- to 12-ounce) double-cut pork chops
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare and preheat a charcoal or gas grill to create two heat zones: high and low.
- In a small bowl, combine the coriander, chipotle, salt, cumin, paprika, and mustard powder. Pat the chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with the spice mixture and then rub the seasoned chops with the olive oil.
- Sear the pork chops on the hot side of the grill until the exterior forms a nice crust, about 4 minutes per side. Move the pork to the low-heat side, cover the grill, and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (60°C) on a meat thermometer, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Move the pork to a cutting board, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, and then serve.
