357kcal
Ingredients
- 3 bone-in pork chops
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Spice Blend:
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 tablespoon grain dijon mustard
- 1½ teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
Method
- In a small bowl, combine black pepper, cumin, paprika, grain dijon mustard, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of oil. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Rinse the pork in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of pork chops with salt and a pinch of black pepper.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. When it's hot, cook the pork chops for about 2 minutes per side. Turn off the heat.
- Brush both sides of pork chops with spice blend. Transfer the skillet to the oven, cook for 6-10 minutes or longer depending on the thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F.
- Transfer the meat to a platter or cutting board. Cover the meat loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting/serving. The residual heat will bring it to the USDA's recommended safe minimum temperature 145°F.

Notes
Cast-iron skillet: Use the right size of the skillet. If the skillet is too large, the juices will dry out in the oven.
