Coffee-Chipotle Pork Chops - cooking recipe

Ingredients

For the rub
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dark-roasted coffee beans, finely ground
1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons dried chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
4 (5 ounce) pork chops, 3/4 - 1 inch thick
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Preparation

Mix together the salt through allspice. Coat each pork chop with the rub, covering both sides generously. Reserve any leftover rub for a future use. Place the pork chops in a plastic food storage bag and refrigerate for 8 hours.
To cook the pork chops, remove them from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Add the pork chops, and cook on each side for 5 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven and cook the pork chops for 15 minutes, uncovered, or until a meat thermometer reads 145 degrees F. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving (there will be carry-over cooking).
