Ingredients

  • 4 tomahawk pork chops mini (3/4 lb each)
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 2 teaspoon pepper or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all the seasoning ingredients together and generously rub over the pork chops on both sides with half the rub. Refrigerate for a couple hours before grilling.
  2. Fire up the grill and bring the heat to a medium (350F°). Remove the chops from the fridge and let them set at room temperature, covered, for about 20 minutes. Pat the chops dry with paper towels and re-season with remaining spice rub.
  3. Spray the chops with a little bit of cooking oil and place them on the grill. Grill on both sides until the internal temperature reaches 145F°-150F°.
  4. Transfer the pork chops to a cutting board and let them rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve them with some garlic compound butter, mashed potatoes and peas.

Notes

  • Grilling time can vary depending on the thickness of the chop. A 1-inch thick pork chop can take 12-14 minutes, a 1 1/2 inch pork chop can take about 20 minutes. Best way to tell when your chops are done is to use a instant meat thermometer. 
  • Transfer the pork chops to an airtight container and store for 3-4 days in the fridge. You can also keep pork chops in the freezer for 2-3 months. If frozen, I suggest letting the pork thaw fully the fridge overnight before reheating.
