PORK dinner! I don’t cook pork at home much (except bacon lol) but it’s a great affordable option for those once in a while weeknight meals! The bone-in pork chop is deliciously juicy and simple to make. You just need a good rub and a cast iron skillet!

Here's what you do:

Ingredients:

1lb Pork Chop

Trader Joes Coffee Rub

Onion Powder

Black Garlic Salt (or regular Garlic Salt)

1 Jalapeno

¼ Red Onion

3 Garlic Cloves

Avocado Oil

S&P

Directions:

1. Salt both sides of pork and then dry with papertowels (get excess moisture out to make sure it gets a good sear)

2. Pour some 1 tbsp Avocado oil on front and backand rub with 2 tbsp coffee rub, ½ Tbsp Onion Powder, and ½ Tbsp of Garlic Salt

3. Turn cast iron on medium high heat – pour someavocado oil- and let it get hot for about 4 minutes

4. Slice jalapeno & red onion, crush the garliccloves and let sit for 7 minutes

5. Place the pork chops in the cast iron (make sureit sizzles when you put it on to ensure good sear)

6. Add the jalapeno and onion to cast iron

7. Cook pork chops for about 7-8 minutes on eachside, flipping every 3-4 minutes, then turn down the heat on the last flip to alow-medium to finish cooking

8. Put garlic in cast iron when on low-mediumcooking setting and cook for 3-4 minutes until brown
