Delicious Rosemary Pork Chops Recipe - Easy Mexican Main Course

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, lime juice, salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin.

    Marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
  2. Marinate the Pork Chops

    Add the pork chops to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate.

    For best results, marinate overnight.
  3. Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat, adding a little olive oil if necessary.

    Ensure the cooking surface is hot before adding the pork.
  4. Cook the Pork Chops

    Remove the pork chops from the marinade and place them on the hot grill or pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side.

    Check for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  5. Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

    Resting allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier chop.
