Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon dry sherry

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 lb of 1 inch thick boneless pork chop, trimmed of fat and cut into one inch cubes

3 tablespoons canola oil
1 red onion, peeled trimmed and cut into one inch cubes

  • To make the pork chops: Combine sherry, pepper, 1 tbsp of the soy sauce and 1/2 tsp of the sugar in a medium bowl. Add pork and gently toss until well coated. Let marinade in the refrigerator.
  • Stir together pineapple juice, ketchup, vinegar, the remaining tbsp of soy sauce and remaining tsp of sugar in a small bowl until well combined.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops. Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Tenderize the pork chops. You can tenderize the pork chops by pounding them with a meat mallet or by marinating them in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help prevent the chops from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. The chops are done 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 more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the sweet and sour sauce is flavorful and tangy. Serve the pork chops with rice or noodles, and enjoy!
