Pork Chops with 'Magic Dust'

Ingredients

• For the magic dust:
• 1/2 cup paprika
• 1/4 cup kosher salt
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons mustard powder
• 1/4 cup chile powder
• 1/4 cup ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup granulated garlic
• 2 tablespoons cayenne
• For the pork chops:
• 4 thick-cut pork rib chops
• 1/2 cup magic dust, recipe above
• 1 tablespoon canola oil

Directions

1. Put the magic dust spices into a container with a tight-fitting lid, then close it and shake until the mixture looks evenly blended. Massage 1/2 cup of the magic dust over every side of the pork chops, then leave them to sit while you get the cooking surface ready.
2. Set up a grill for medium heat, or warm a ridged grill pan over medium heat. Grip a paper towel with tongs and use it to coat the grill grates or pan with the canola oil so the pork releases cleanly.
3. Cook the pork chops on the grill until each side is nicely browned and the meat is cooked the way you like it, about 3-5 minutes per side for medium, with the exact timing depending on the thickness. Rest the chops for 3-5 minutes before you serve them.
