Onion Pan-Fried Pork Chops image

I made this up one day because I was wanting something different then the same old pan-fried pork chops (that is how my husband asked me to cook them that day). So I made this up real fast, and boy did he love them. Now he asks for them every time. I do this with boneless and bone-in pork chops. So it doesn't matter what kind you have on hand, just cook them up and enjoy.

Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
2 pork chops
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup olive oil for frying

Steps:

  • Before opening the onion soup mix, use your hands to crush the larger bits of onion in the packet. Open the packet, and pour the mix into a shallow bowl. Stir in the flour.

Coat pork chops in the onion soup mixture, and shake off the excess. Carefully place in the hot oil. Turn chops over after about 30 seconds to quickly sear both sides. Cook for about 4 minutes per side, or to desired degree of doneness.

SAUTEED SPICE RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH PAN SAUCE



Sauteed Spice Rubbed Pork Chops with Pan Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 (1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch) thick center-cut loin pork chops, either rib or T-bone, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons paprika, preferably Hungarian
1 tablespoons chile powder, preferably Gebhardt
1 to 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons granulated garlic, or garlic powder
2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dry mustard, preferably Colman's
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1/2 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth
1/2 cup chicken or beef stock
1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs, such as sage, rosemary, thyme, savory, or dill (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Make rub: mix all ingredients together in a small bowl or jar (You can store it for a couple of months in a tightly sealed jar.)
  • Coat the chops generously with spice rub and let marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. Let refrigerated meat come to room temperature before cooking. Scrape off any excess rub and pat the chops dry.
  • In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over high heat. When the pan is hot enough to sear the chops but not burn them, add the chops. They should make a gentle hissing sound when they hit the pan, not an explosive sputter. Adjust the heat if the pan seems too hot or remove the pan from the heat for 30 seconds or so (count this time as part of the overall cooking time). Sear the chops on one side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until beginning to brown lightly. Turn the chops over and sear for 1 minute more.
  • Reduce the heat so that the chops continue to sizzle -- do not turn the heat so low that there are no more sizzling sounds (if the heat is too low, the chops will sweat and juices will exude from the meat and leave it dry. Cover the pan and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes more on the other side. The chops are done when the meat is firm but not hard when pressed with a finger. Better still, test them with an instant-read thermometer -- the meat should register 145 to 155 degrees and will still be acceptable at 160 degrees. For the juiciest results, remove the chops from the pan when they register 145 degrees, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes or so before serving, to stabilize the juices.
  • To make the pan sauce: pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan, leaving any meat juices. Adjust the heat to medium and add garlic. Stir, cook for 30 seconds, then add remaining ingredients, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce it over high heat until it just turns syrupy. Put the pork chops back into the pan and turn them several times in the sauce to transfer the flavors -- this should take no more than 30 seconds. Serve chops with sauce

THIN PAN-SEARED PORK CHOPS



Thin Pan-Seared Pork Chops image

Double-thick pork chops always look appetizing, but unless they are cooked perfectly, they tend to be dry, regardless of whether you grill or bake them. That's especially true if they are lean loin chops. But skinny chops cooked over high heat on the stovetop are far more apt to come out juicy. Giving them an hour in quickly made brine adds even more flavor and tenderness. Ask your butcher to cut thin chops that weigh 4 to 5 ounces.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, easy, steaks and chops, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup granulated or brown sugar
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
12 black peppercorns, lightly crushed
6 allspice berries, lightly crushed
8 thin, bone-in pork chops, also known as breakfast chops, 4 to 5 ounces each (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
5 ounces baby arugula (about 4 cups), or a mixture of arugula, tender parsley leaves and mint leaves
Pecorino cheese, for shaving (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the brine: In a nonreactive large bowl or large deep baking dish, combine salt, sugar, bay leaves, coriander, peppercorns and allspice. Stir in 8 cups cold water to dissolve salt and sugar.
  • Add pork chops to brine, making sure they are well submerged, and refrigerate. Leave chops in brine for 1 to 2 hours. Remove from brine, pat dry and bring to room temperature. Discard brine.
  • Make the dressing for the herb salad: Whisk together lemon juice, zest and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Put 2 large cast-iron skillets over medium-high heat and film each pan lightly with oil. (Alternatively, use a large cast-iron griddle or ridged stovetop grill.) When oil is hot, add chops in one layer without crowding.
  • Cook for about 4 minutes, until chops are nicely browned, then turn and cook for about 3 minutes more, until firm to the touch. Transfer to a warm platter.
  • Put herb salad leaves in a shallow bowl and season lightly with salt. Toss leaves with half the dressing, just to coat. Place dressed salad on top of pork chops. Drizzle remaining dressing over the top, add shavings of pecorino cheese (if using), and serve.

  • Roast for 28-30 minutes, tossing the vegetables halfway through, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are crisp-tender. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

BAKED STUFFED PORK CHOPS AND PAN GRAVY



Baked Stuffed Pork Chops and Pan Gravy image

I first cooked these in the early 90's when I belonged to a cooking school and they're great! Make sure your guests are hungry: this is a very hearty entree. Recipe #320348 makes a really good side dish. I cook them with apple juice - just haven't gotten around to trying them with wine. Note: The recipe is easily modified for thinner chops by reducing the browning and baking times.

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 slices day old bread, trimmed of some crust, cut in 1/4-inch cubes
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1/2 cup dark raisin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/8 teaspoon pepper
6 pork chops, 1 1/2-inch thick (each about 3/4 pound)
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 cup white wine or 1 cup apple cider

Steps:

  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium high heat and saute the chopped onion and celery, stirring, until onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Gently stir in bread cubes. Add parsley, raisins, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, marjoram and pepper; toss lightly to combine. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F Trim excess fat from chops, reserving the fat. Using a sharp paring knife, cut a pocket in each chop, all the way to the rib. Fill each pocket with 1/4 cup stuffing; fasten together with a couple of toothpicks.
  • Mix together the 1/4 cup flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Lightly coat the pork chops on both sides with flour mixture, reserving remaining seasoned flour for gravy.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter and reserved pork fat in a large skillet. Over low heat, cooking 3 at a time, brown chops well on both sides, turning with tongs, 8-10 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove each batch of browned chops to paper towels.
  • Pour off fat from skillet, and add apple juice, white wine, cider or a combo of liquids to skillet. Stir over medium heat to dissolve browned bits. Pour into the bottom of roasting pan. Stand chops bone-side down in bottom of pan. Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven 1 hour.
  • Uncover and bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender. Remove chops to platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Optional Gravy: Over medium heat boil drippings, uncovered, until reduced to 1 cup. Dissolve reserved flour mixture in 1/2 cup of water. Add to drippings and bring to a boil, stirring; simmer 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Strain if necessary. Serve with chops.

PAN-ROASTED PORK CHOPS WITH APPLE FRITTERS



Pan-Roasted Pork Chops With Apple Fritters image

The recipe takes a little planning. You want to brine the pork chops for a day or two before you set out to cook. This gives them a juiciness and depth of flavor you are otherwise unlikely to get from a commercially raised hog. (If you have access to a pig raised on acorns and herbs, feel free to cut corners.) Chef Josh Cohen toasts the spices he uses in his brining liquid before incorporating them. This is very much to the good of the chops and is worth the few extra moments it requires.

Time P2DT1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 cup apple cider
6 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
3 bay leaves
2 dried chiles de árbol
5 juniper berries
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
4 pork chops on the bone, approximately 1 ½ inches thick
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 shallots peeled and finely diced
1 teaspoon thyme leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons brandy
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup pork or chicken stock
2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon horseradish, ideally freshly grated
2 cups apple cider
1 cinnamon stick
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into ½-inch rounds
1 whole egg
½ cup very cold seltzer water
½ cup rice flour
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup neutral oil, like canola

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the apple cider with 4 cups of water, the sugar and the salt. Toast the bay leaves, chilies, juniper berries, caraway seeds, mustard seeds and coriander seeds in a small pan set over medium heat until you can smell them, then add to the brine, and stir to combine. Add the pork chops, cover and place in the refrigerator to brine overnight or for up to 48 hours.
  • To pan-roast the pork chops, preheat oven to 375. Remove chops from brine, and pat dry with paper towel. Season the meat aggressively with freshly ground black pepper and a little salt. Set a large sauté pan that will fit in the oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil, and when it is shimmering, place the chops in the pan. Cook until well seared on one side, approximately 4 minutes, then turn the chops over, and place pan in the oven to finish, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. (The internal temperature of the pork, measured at the center of the chop, should be between 140 and 145 for medium rare.) Remove the meat from the pan, and allow to rest for 5 minutes or so while you make the sauce.
  • Return the pan to the stovetop, over medium heat, and add the butter, stirring and scraping to incorporate meat drippings, then add the shallots and the thyme. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, then add the brandy. Allow the mixture to reduce by half, then add the cream and the stock and reduce again, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Remove the sauce from the heat, and whisk in the mustard and the horseradish.
  • For the apple fritters, heat the apple cider and the cinnamon stick with a couple of inches of water in a large pot set over high heat. Add the apple rounds, and blanch for 1 minute, then remove to a towel to dry. Whisk together the egg and the seltzer until frothy, then gently mix in the flours. Put the oil in a large pan set over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, dip the apple rings into the batter, and fry in the oil until golden brown.
  • Serve the pork chops with a few apple fritters and a heavy drizzle of sauce across the top. The usual accompaniment is potato-and-horseradish pierogies sautéed in brown butter, though roasted new potatoes with a topping of butter and freshly grated horseradish will answer almost as well.

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 they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well: Pork chops can easily become bland, so be sure to season them generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also use a marinade to add even more flavor.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning. If you cook them over high heat, they may brown too quickly on the outside and remain raw on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The best way to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to perfection is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chop and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Once the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried pork chops are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make sure that your pork chops are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give pan-fried pork chops a try.
