PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS



Pork Chops with Apples and Onions image

Sauteed apples and onion combine with pork chops for a tastiness that never disappoints.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 bone-in pork chops (loin or shoulder), cut 3/4 inch thick
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large white onion, sliced
2 to 3 apples, cored and sliced (about 3 cups)
1 cup beer, white wine, cider, or chicken broth

Steps:

  • Trim the chops of excess fat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a 14-inch cast-iron skillet (if you have a smaller one, you'll need to work in batches) over high heat, and then swirl in the olive oil. Lay in the pork chops and don't move them for a few minutes, to assure a good golden sear forms. Turn and brown well on the second side for a total of about 10 minutes. Transfer the chops to a warm plate.
  • Swirl the butter into the pan. Add the onion and apples. Saute until the onion slices are lightly caramelized and the apples have begun to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in the beer or other liquid. Return chops to the pan.
  • Cook until the pork is tender, about 15 more minutes (depending on the size of the chops), turning halfway through and covering the chops with the apple mixture. If the apple mixture needs a little thickening, transfer the chops to the warm plate again and simmer the mixture on high for a few minutes to reduce. Serve the chops over rice or mashed potatoes with a large spoonful of the apple-onion mixture over the top.

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 are a relatively mild-flavored meat, so it's important to season them well before cooking. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good place to start. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will brown too quickly on the outside and remain raw on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the correct temperature: The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with apples is a classic dish that is both easy to make and delicious. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give pork chops with apples a try. You won't be disappointed!
