Grilled Brown Sugar Pork Chops
These grilled brown sugar pork chops are tender, juicy and perfect for a summer BBQ. A simple 5-ingredient dry rub adds sweet and savory flavor to boneless pork loin chops with no marinade needed.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ Tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 4 boneless pork loin chops , trimmed and patted dry
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 Tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Rub the mixture all over the pork chops.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400℉), turning on only on one side of the burners.
- Place pork chops directly on the side that is on and sear 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
- Move the pork chops over to the side that is off and continue cooking an additional 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until a digital thermometer inserted in the center reads 145℉. Remove and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make ahead: If you would like, you can add the dry rub to the pork chops and rest covered in the refrigerator up to 24 hours in advance.
- Store: Once cooled, stored grilled pork chops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven, microwave or on the grill.
