Ingredients
- 4 pork chops
- 2 tablespoons of jerk seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by making your marinade. In a bowl, mix together the jerk seasoning, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
- Take those juicy pork chops and coat them well with the marinade. Make sure every nook and cranny gets that spicy love!
- Cover the bowl and let those chops soak up all that flavor in the fridge for at least 1 hour. If you can let it marinate overnight, even better!
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. You want it nice and hot to get those chops seared perfectly.
- Once heated, throw those chops on the grill or in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Once cooked, let them rest for about 5 minutes to lock in all that juiciness.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if you’re feeling fancy and serve it up with your favorite sides. Rice and peas or some grilled veggies would be banging!
