Directions

For Seasoning:

Step 1

Mix spices in a small bowl. Keeps for weeks – even months! (Whatever the shelf life of the spices is you used).

Step 1

Pat pork chops dry. Sprinkle Pork Rub, then use your fingers to lightly rub the seasoning on both sides, as well as the sides. Shake off excess.

Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan). Place a rack over a tray.

Step 3

Heat oil in a heavy based skillet over medium high heat.

Step 4

Use tongs to sear the edge of the chops (fat strip), rotating as you go, until you get nice colour all around, about 3 minutes in total. Then sear each side for 2 minutes until golden.

Step 5

Put pan into the oven and allow to finish cooking for 3 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 65°C/149°F. Remove pork and rest 3 minutes on rack.

Step 6
