Provided by Young Sun Huh

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 slices bacon, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 to 3 large sprigs thyme, plus 1 tablespoon chopped leaves
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 head Napa cabbage, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pinches of red pepper flakes
4 boneless pork chops (1/2 inch thick; 1 to 1 1/2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 12-ounce bottle medium-dark beer
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until the fat renders and the bacon is crisp, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat into a small bowl and reserve. Add the onion and thyme sprigs to the skillet and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beans and 3/4 cup chicken broth and cook until the beans are tender and most of the broth evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Rub the pork chops with salt, pepper and the chopped thyme, then coat with the flour. Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved bacon fat in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Add the beer and remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; bring to a simmer. Return the pork to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium low and loosely cover. Cook until the pork is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pork to a plate and let rest.
  • Continue cooking the braising liquid until reduced and thickened, about 6 minutes; swirl in the butter. Divide the bean-cabbage mixture among plates. Slice the pork and add to the plates. Top with the pan sauce, bacon and another pinch of red pepper flakes.

Pork Chops with Beer Sauerkraut image

This is the smell of Cleveland in late fall. Show up at the Municipal Parking Lot to tailgate before any home football game and you'll see a million variations on the theme of pork, kraut, and beer. The hoppy beer-I like Commodore Perry IPA from Great Lakes Brewing- deglazes the pan and makes a great sauce for the chops. Go Browns!

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 4-ounce boneless pork chops, each 1/4-inch thick
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced red onions
1 cup sauerkraut
1 cup IPA-style beer
1/3 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
Put a large skillet over high heat.
Whole grain mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the paprika, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Season both sides of the pork with this spice mixture.
  • Add the oil to the preheated skillet. Add the pork in a single layer in the pan. Cook, without moving, until lightly golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip the meat and scoot to the outer edges of the pan. To the open space in the middle, add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring the onions occasionally.
  • Add the sauerkraut and continue cooking until the onions have softened and the sauerkraut turns golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the beer and deglaze the pan, scraping with a wooden spoon to get up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook until the sauce reduces slightly, about 30 seconds.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Serve the pork chops topped with the sauerkraut mixture, any accumulated juices and mustard.
