Boneless grilled pork chops is one of our go-to dinner recipes because they are such an affordable, lean source of protein.
The key with any lean cut of meat is to add as much flavor with a spice rub or marinade. For these juicy grilled pork chops I create a simple spice rub made with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder and brown sugar.
As the pork grills, the sugar caramelizes created a sweet crust that pairs perfectly with the smoky, salty, spicy flavors of the rub.
Serve with grilled veggies and dinner is done. Leftovers taste delicious over a salad or in a sandwich.
Your fork is waiting.

Great flavor but it is more like a spice paste due to the liquid addition of the worst.
