Quick Pork Cutlets With Tangy Pan Sauce image

Tender pork cutlets and a tangy pan sauce. If you want a milder sauce, cut down on the vinegar and mustard. I actually made this using a 2 lb pork roast, sliced into 1/2 rounds.

Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs pork roast or 2 lbs pork chops
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons salt
pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar or 1/4 cup sugar substitute, equivalent
1/8 cup dehydrated chives
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
salt and pepper
5 leaves fresh basil

Steps:

  • Cut pork roast into 1/2" rounds.
  • Pour the marinade ingredients into a medium size bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Tenderize the meat with a piercing tenderizer (looks like a bunch of nails that stab the meat) or pierce meat 30xs on each side with a fork.
  • Place meat in a bowl with marinade as you tenderize each piece, stirring the meat around with each addition so that each piece is covered.
  • Heat a large skillet to medium low (4 on my electric stove) and add a tbsp or two of oil (just enough to coat the bottom in a thin layer.).
  • Place 2-3 cutlets in the skillet, and cook 3-4 minutes on each side, until they reach 160*F. (Start with the cutlets that were in the marinade the longest.) Remove cooked cutlets to a plate, and place in a warm place (such as a closed microwave.)
  • When all the cutlets are done, add the dry chives. Fry for about 30 seconds. The pork should have left a good bit of juice behind. Add the vinegar, and use it to deglaze the pan, scraping up all the good tidbits.
  • Add remaining pan sauce ingredients, and simmer for a minute to combine the flavors.
  • Spoon the sauce over a few cutlets and enjoy :-).
