Dry Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops Recipe
Juicy, flavorful and delicious, these dry rubbed grilled pork chops are perfect for a weekend barbecue or a quick weeknight dinner. 
I know I’ve said this before, but pork meat is a little under appreciated at times.
I cook it often and my family likes it, so today I decided to share with you my recipe for Dry Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops.
This dry rub is pretty simple to prepare, with spices you already have in your pantry.
What I like about it is that is seasons the meat quickly (no need to marinate it for several hours), it isn’t messy and keeps the pork chops juicy.

This summer has been pretty good for me.
Weather is nice, the humidity hasn’t been extremely high around here, which means that I spend a lot of time outdoors.
And of course, I practice my favorite activity – grilling!
I enjoy using my grill and I never struggle with dinner recipe ideas in the summer.
Everything is so quick and easy to make, unlike the colder months, when I need to pull out the slow cooker or wait for my dinner to cook for hours in the oven.

In the summer some grilled meat and a salad make the perfect dinner.
This is where these Dry Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops come in!
Also planning parties in the summer is so much easier, because I can always make a barbecue and all guests are happy and satisfied with the food.

I totally agree, pork can be underrated! And I’m always looking for new ways to prepare it, because I feel like I always make it the same. I love this dry rubbed seasoning, Mira! And that salad sounds delicious, too!
Whenever I made a good pork chop, I always wonder why I don’t make it more often. Smithfield pork chops look delicious and I will look for them the next time I’m at Walmart. Delicious recipe.
We eat a lot of pork and I always run out of ways to make it. Mostly we just use bbq sauce but I like the idea of using a dry rub.
Pork definitely doesn’t get enough love! You know I’m all for pork, especially if it’s Smithfield, so I am drooling over these chops, Mira!! Love the dry rub! Simply delicious! And that salad is gorgeous and the perfect accompaniment! Dinner heaven up in here! Pinned! Cheers, sweets!
P.S Enjoy the lack of humidity for me! It’s so dang hot here recently you can’t step outside without sweating. It’s ridiculous. I need to come visit you. 😉
These pork chops look so rustic and awesome, Mira. Dry rubbing idea sounds fantastic. Absolutely juicy, flavorful and delicious. Indeed perfect weeknight dinner!
This is grilling season, and you have the whole spice rub thing down pat. I wish I were better at that! I’m glad your humidity has been low. Ours is through the roof!
Pork meat is totally under-appreciated and I don’t know why! It’s so much more affordable and delicious! love this dry rub!!! These pork chops look amazing!
I love grilling too. There’s something about a grill that brings out the very best in meats. These grilled pork chops with your dry rub look delicious!
DRY RUBS ARE THE BEST! So fast and they pack such a great crust on@ And I agree we have been pretty blessed with the weather this summer… I have a feeling we may get screwed this winter 🙁
I totally agree that pork chops are underappreciated. They are so easy to prepare, and there’s nothing like grilling outdoors in the summer. I need to give your dry rub a shot…and soon! Thanks for the recipe, Mira! #client
What do I do with this can of beans you had me open? 😉
I love pork chops but definitely do not eat them enough! These look so tasty and succulent! Pinned!!
Pork is totally underrated — it’s so versatile and cooks so quickly! I love making pork, and this dish looks absolutely mouthwatering!
These are cooked to perfection, Mira! The dry rub sounds amazing!
Hi
What if you don’t have a grill, how would you cook these pork chops.
you can oven roast them at 375 F for 35 minutes, until safe temperature of the meat is achieved.
Great recipe for pork chops!
Love pork chops! These look fantastic!
These are the best pork chops I’ve ever made/had. My husband said if he never had another pork chop he’d be ok. When I made these he told me I could make them every week!!!
This is a simple but great rub. The cumin makes it.
I use it on pork and chicken breast, on the grill in the summer, or baked in the oven in the winter.
Excellent rub!!! With all the misinformation and just plain plain bad food web sites popping up all the time it’s feel good to find a winner. Highly recommended Rub recipe. Well done ?? Pork chops were delicious ?
I made both the pork chops and the spinach salad and both were excellent! Both the rub and salad were easy to put together and the salad was delicious and a perfect pairing with the pork. The family loved the meal and there were no leftovers! I will definitely make this meal again.
