This combination of lemon green beans and spice-rubbed pork is wonderful for a busy weeknight meal and ready in under 20 minutes! The simple rub includes a little bit of sugar which offsets the earthier flavors and caramelizes on the pork while it broils. Make a larger batch, minus the Worcestershire sauce, to use on chicken, or fish for another great meal. Grill your pork chops if the weather is nice, either way, the rub helps seal the pork, allowing the final product a more juicy texture. Serve this as a small complete meal or add some tomato slices for a summery dish. Cold outside? add some steamed rice or roasted sweet potato cubes for a heartier meal.
