This recipe combines the robust flavors of garlic and paprika with the tender juiciness of pork fillets, resulting in a savory and satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g
1 tsp paprika
2.10g
1/2 tsp onion powder
1.20g
1/2 tsp mustard
2.50g
1/2 tsp brown sugar
2.30g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/4 tsp white pepper
0.60g
24 oz pork fillet
680g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Seasoning Mix:
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, mustard powder, brown sugar, salt, and white pepper. Mix well until all the spices are evenly distributed.
2. Season the Pork Chops:
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better and ensures a good sear.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each pork chop. Make sure each chop is well coated with the mixture.
3. Heat the Oil:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. The pan should be hot enough that the chops sizzle when they hit the pan, but not so hot that the oil starts smoking.
4. Sear the Pork Chops:
- Carefully add the pork chops to the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. If your skillet is not large enough, sear the chops in batches.
- Cook the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Use tongs to flip them.
5. Continue Cooking:
- After searing, reduce the heat to medium. Continue to cook the pork chops for another 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). If you have a meat thermometer, this is a good time to use it.
6. Rest the Pork Chops:
- Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate and cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Let them rest for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it moist and flavorful.
7. Serve:
- Serve the garlic and paprika pork chops with your choice of sides. They pair well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Make sure to pat the pork fillets dry with paper towels before seasoning them to ensure a good sear.

- Allow the pork chops to rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cooking to help them cook more evenly.

- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.

- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy meat.

- For an added depth of flavor, you can marinate the pork chops in the seasoning mix for a few hours or overnight before cooking.

Garlic and paprika roasted pork chops bring together warm, spicy, and aromatic flavors that make for a truly enjoyable meal. This simple but impressive dish can be easily mastered with a few handy tips, ensuring that each bite is tender, juicy, and delicious. Serve your pork chops with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
