Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pork chops (see notes)
Salt & pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter (divided)
1 whole head garlic (cloves peeled)
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup chicken broth or stock
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream
Fresh parsley (chopped (optional, to taste))

Steps:

  • Take the pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Season the pork generously with salt & pepper on both sides.
  • In a deep skillet, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes, and once it's hot, cook the pork chops for 3-5 minutes/side or until golden (3 minutes for thinner chops and 5 minutes for pork chops up to 1" thick). Once the pork chops are done searing, transfer them to a plate.
  • Add the remaining butter and the garlic cloves to the skillet. Turn the heat down to medium (or medium-low if using cast iron). Cook it, stirring fairly often, for about 3 minutes or until the garlic has somewhat browned on the outside.
  • Push the garlic to one side of the pan and sprinkle the flour in (avoiding the garlic). Let it cook for around 30 seconds, and give it a stir so it's incorporated with the butter (we're making a quick roux).
  • Add in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir and let it cook for about a minute or until the sauce is noticeably thickened.
  • Add in the cream and garlic powder. Stir or whisk it until the garlic powder has dissolved.
  • Add the pork back in and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened up a bit (let the sauce bubble a bit but not furiously boil) and the pork chops are fully cooked through (145F minimum). Keep in mind the pork's temperature will continue to rise once you stop cooking it, so if it's close, I'd take it off the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Season the sauce with extra salt & pepper as needed and parsley if you wish.

TEXAS TWO-STEP PORK CHOPS



Texas Two-Step Pork Chops image

From Weber's 'Grill out Times' newsletter. I didn't even change the corny name. Added cayenne pepper the second time around for more heat. Nice, unmessy way to grill chops

Provided by chef blade

Categories     Pork

Time 4h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup catsup
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 pork chops (one inch thick)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients except the pork.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup marinade for basting.
  • Place chops in resealable bag and add remaining marinade.
  • Seal bag, turn to coat meat.
  • Refrigerate for 4 hours.
  • Let chops return to room temp for 30 minutes.
  • Drain, discard marinade, and grill over medium heat charcoal until just barely pink (10 minutes) while basting and turning.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops. You'll want to use bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help them stay moist during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Sear the pork chops over high heat. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the chops, which will help to keep them juicy on the inside.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the pork chops until they are cooked through. You can check the internal temperature of the chops with a meat thermometer. Pork chops are safe to eat when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. This recipe for 2-Step Garlic Pork Chops is a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The pork chops are seared until golden brown and then finished in a creamy garlic sauce. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
