Perfect Grilled Pork Chops with Sweet BBQ Rub

Step 1

Combine all of the rub ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Preheat the grill on medium high heat for 10 minutes until it is around 400°F. Turn off the burners on one side of the grill so that you have a zone of direct heat and a zone of indirect heat.

Step 3

Rub the pork chops all over with the olive oil, then sprinkle generously with the sweet bbq rub, massaging it into the meat.

Step 4

Place the pork chops on the grill over direct heat and sear for 2-3 minutes, then flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Move the pork chops to the indirect heat side of the grill and cook for another 5-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F when measured with an instant read meat thermometer.

Step 6

Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
