Best 3 Mandys Smothered Pork Chops Recipes

SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Put the flour in a shallow platter and add the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture and then dredge them in the seasoned flour; shaking off the excess.
• Heat a large saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is nice and hot, lay the pork chops in the pan in a single layer and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the pan and add a little sprinkle of seasoned flour to the pan drippings. Mix the flour into the fat to dissolve and then pour in the chicken broth in. Let the liquid cook down for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly. Stir in the buttermilk to make a creamy gravy and return the pork chops to the pan, covering them with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

CINDY'S MONGOLIAN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Trim the excess meat and fat away from the ends of the chop bones, leaving them exposed. Put the pork chops in a clean plastic bag, and lightly sprinkle with water to prevent the meat from tearing when pounded. Using the smooth side of a meat mallet, pound the meat down to an even 1-inch thickness, being careful not to hit the bones. Alternatively, have your butcher cut thinner chops and serve 2 per serving.
• To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Coat the pork chops liberally with about three-quarters of the marinade, and marinate for 3 hours and up to overnight in the refrigerator. Reserve any remaining marinade for another use.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chops from the marinade, and place on the grill pan. Grill for 5 minutes on each side, rotating them a quarter turn after 2 to 3 minutes on each side to produce nice crosshatch marks. The pork is cooked when it registers 139 degrees.on an instant-read thermometer.
