Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced cilantro
  • 6 1/2-inch to 1-inch thick boneless pork chops

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, garlic and red pepper flakes. Stream in the olive oil, whisking well. Whisk in the cilantro.
  • Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Grill the pork, turning once, until they reach 135ºF, 8-10 minutes. (The pork will come to full temperature, 145ºF, as it continues to cook while it is resting.) Add a spoonful of the cilantro lime sauce over the tops of the chops when they have about 2 minutes remaining.
  • Let the pork chops rest for 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with the remaining cilantro lime sauce.
