Cajun Pork Chops

This is a recipe I am transferring here from an old handwritten recipe card. I have no idea where it came from, but I have made it many times over the years and we really like it. (There are several recipes for Cajun pork chops here, but the dry rub mixture in this recipe has different ingredients.)

• Ready In: 18 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon paprika
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sage
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
• 4  boneless center cut pork chops, 1/2-inch thick
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons butter
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons  oil

Directions

1. Combine paprika, cumin, salt, sage, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne in a bowl. Coat chops with seasoning mixture on both sides, pressing into the meat.
2. Heat butter and oil over high heat in a large skillet until very hot. Place chops in skillet, reduce heat to medium and cook 7-8 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time.
