Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tbsp Brown Sugar, unpacked

  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 4 (5 oz) 1/2-inch thick chops

Directions – See Adjustments Below

  • Preheat broiler (500 degF) and coat broiler pan with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, combine chili powder, sugar, cumin and garlic powder. Add Worcestershire sauce and stir until paste forms.
  • Rub paste onto both sides of each pork chop, place on prepared pan and broil 4 minutes on each side until inside is no longer pink.

Adjustments

  • Marinate pork in Worcestershire sauce and then sprinkle dry rub over the chops before putting in oven. If this works I’ll change directions.

History

  • 2022-01-07 – I struggled with this recipe. After adding the Worcestershire sauce the paste was not in a good condition to actually spread. I also wasn’t happy with they way they broiled but that may be due to the uneven rub. For next time, see adjustments.
