Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • ½ medium yellow onion, diced

  • 4 (5 ounce) boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick

  • 2 medium limes, juiced

Directions

  1. Combine jerk seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Shake about 1 tablespoon jerk rub into the skillet. Add onions. Cook and stir until soft, about 3 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, sprinkle 1/2 of remaining jerk rub onto one side of each pork chop. Use a knife to poke 4 or 5 holes in each chop and pour 1/2 lime juice over top. Place chops, seasoned-side down, into the hot skillet.

  4. Cook until brown, 5 to 7 minutes. While cooking, sprinkle remaining jerk rub onto top side of chops. Poke 4 or 5 holes in each chop with knife. Pour remaining lime juice over top. Flip chops and cook until brown and no longer pink in the center, another 5 to 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Cook's Note:

You can use bone-in or boneless pork chops.
