Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning
• 4 (5 ounce) boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
• 2 medium limes, juiced
• 0.5 medium yellow onion, diced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine jerk seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl; set rub aside.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add about 1 tablespoon jerk rub. Add onion; cook and stir until soft, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, sprinkle 1/2 remaining jerk rub onto one side of each pork chop. Poke 4 or 5 holes into each chop, using the tip of a knife; drizzle 1/2 lime juice over top. Place chops, seasoned-sides down, into the hot skillet.

Step 4

Cook until brown, 5 to 7 minutes. While chops cook, sprinkle remaining jerk rub onto top sides of chops; poke 4 or 5 holes into each chop using the tip of a knife. Drizzle remaining lime juice over top. Flip chops; cook until brown and no longer pink in centers, 5 to 7 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
