Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Lime Pork Chops.
Step 1
Start by gathering your spices in a bowl: combine salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper, chili powder, a quarter teaspoon of garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.
Step 2
Give it a good mix to create a flavorful spice blend that will elevate your pork chops.
Step 3
Next, generously sprinkle this aromatic mixture on both sides of the pork chops, making sure they are well coated for maximum flavor.
Step 4
In a large, heavy skillet, melt together some butter and olive oil over medium heat until it’s hot and ready for cooking.
Step 5
Once the skillet is sizzling, carefully add the seasoned pork chops.
Step 6
Cook them for about five minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and are no longer pink in the center.
Step 7
To ensure they’re perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer; it should read 145°F (63°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chop.
Step 8
After the pork chops are cooked to perfection, transfer them to a serving plate, leaving those delicious juices behind in the skillet.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to add a burst of flavor! Pour in some fresh lime juice along with the remaining garlic powder into the skillet.
Step 10
Stir everything together, allowing the zesty mixture to combine with the savory juices.
Step 11
Finally, drizzle this vibrant sauce over the pork chops just before serving, and watch as your dish transforms into a mouthwatering masterpiece.
Step 12
Enjoy your meal, and savor the delightful flavors you’ve created!.
