SUCCULENT PORK CHOPS



Succulent Pork Chops image

Great tasting pork chops that are great on the grill or pan fried. These chops come out tasty and juicy with just a few seasonings. This is a favorite of my family. To ease preparation you can season and then freeze. Defrost as you would normally and they are ready to cook. This seasoning also works well by seasoning meat prior to freezing. The longer it sits on the chops the better.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon ginger paste
½ teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 boneless pork chops
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Whisk together the garlic, ginger, sage, and salt in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium-high or preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

CHILE-GLAZED PORK CHOPS WITH FRESH TOMATILLO SAUCE



Chile-Glazed Pork Chops with Fresh Tomatillo Sauce image

These succulent pork chops are perfect for a small dinner party or family dinner at home. If you have the Red Chile Paste and Fresh Tomatillo Sauce made ahead of time, you will have dinner on the table before you know it. I like to serve these with the Shredded Cabbage & Radish Slaw (page 24). Comforting and flavorful-this is sure to become a family favorite.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 bone-in pork chops, ideally 1 inch thick and 1/2 pound each
1 cup Red Chile Paste (page 100)
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
About 3 cups beer or water
1 cup Fresh Tomatillo Sauce (page 95)

Steps:

  • Slather both sides of the pork chops with the chile paste and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes (and up to a few hours).
  • Leave a light coating of the chile paste on the pork chops and season with salt and pepper. Place a large, well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork chops in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes on each side, or until the meat turns golden brown.
  • Pour in enough beer to barely cover the chops. Cover the pan (top with a piece of aluminum foil large enough to cover the pan if yours does not have a lid) and decrease the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes. Turn the pork chops over and cook for another 15 minutes.
  • Uncover the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the liquid to reduce almost completely, flipping the pork chops over every few minutes to ensure that both sides become glazed with the reduced sauce. This should take about 10 minutes.
  • Serve warm with tomatillo sauce.
  • INGREDIENTS
  • Pork Chops
  • Because bone-in pork chops are more flavorful than boneless chops, I prefer them in this recipe. But feel free to use either one. I also like to use the thick cuts, but the thin ones also work well. Just make sure to decrease the braising time if you are using thin cuts because they will cook in less time.
  • TECHNIQUES
  • Braising the Pork Chop
  • Braising is a technique used to tenderize tough cuts of meat. The meat is first seared to develop a nice golden crust, then simmered in a liquid to cook it through without drying it out. You will find variations of this technique throughout the meat recipes in this book, as Mexican cooking tends to use tougher (and tastier) cuts of meat.
  • ADVANCE PREPARATION
  • The red chile paste and tomatillo sauce can be made well in advance (up to 3 days before). Once the pork chops are braised, they can be held, covered, in a warm (250°F) oven for about 1 hour before serving.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Kosher salt
1/4 cup coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
4 double-cut bone-in pork loin chops (about 1 pound each)
Vegetable oil, for the grill
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups diced onions
1 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 1/4 cups apple juice
1 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup bourbon
1/2 cup prunes
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Serving suggestion: Smoky Corn on the Cob, recipe follows

Steps:

  • Prepare the pork: Mix 2 tablespoons salt, the black pepper, brown sugar and paprika in a bowl, then rub all over the chops. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and brown sugar until dissolved. Add the ketchup, apple juice, syrup, bourbon, prunes, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 30 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender or in a regular blender.
  • Preheat a grill to medium. Brush the grates with vegetable oil, then place the chops directly over the flame and grill until marked and cooked halfway through, about 15 minutes. Turn the chops and place on a cooler area of the grill (such as the edges); cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140 degrees F to 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover and brush the chops on all sides with the prepared sauce, then cover and cook until glazed, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and brush with more sauce. Tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes. Serve with more sauce and Smoky Corn on the Cob.
  • Peel back the husks from the corn and remove the silk. Butter the kernels and sprinkle with salt and smoked paprika. Fold the husks back over the corn and grill over low heat until cooked through, turning occasionally, 12 to 15 minutes.
