CITRUS-GLAZED PORK CHOPS WITH GINGERY BOK CHOY



Citrus-Glazed Pork Chops With Gingery Bok Choy image

Rich pork makes a perfect companion to tart oranges in this tasty weeknight meal. The bold, bright, citrusy sauce demands a robust cut of meat, so pick well-marbled, thick-cut pork chops with a nice fat cap. A dry rub of brown sugar creates a caramelized layer that lends depth to the pan sauce, and the gingery bok choy adds a delightful bit of freshness. This is quite a meal on its own, but you can steam some brown or white rice for a starchy side. Slice the pork to serve, and drizzle the pan sauce over everything.

Categories     dinner, weekday, meat, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound large or baby bok choy
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed, plus more as needed
3 (1 1/2-inch-thick) bone-in pork loin chops (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 whole orange, cut in half crosswise, seeds removed, plus 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
4 shallots, peeled and quartered
4 garlic cloves, smashed

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the ginger and rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Trim the bok choy and cut into 3- to 4-inch pieces, if large, or cut down the middle lengthwise, if using baby bok choy. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the bok choy to the pan, cut-side down, if using baby bok choy, and sear on one side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add additional oil, if necessary. Flip to cook on the other side until just tender, about 1 minute. Transfer bok choy to the ginger marinade and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Rub both sides of the pork chops with the brown sugar and season generously with salt. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium heat. Arrange chops and orange halves in the skillet, cut-side down. Sear one side of the pork (without moving it) until deep brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the pork but leave the orange undisturbed. Cook on medium-low until the pork is browned on both sides and the orange halves are charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Move the orange to a serving platter and the pork to a plate.
  • Add the shallots and garlic to skillet and cook until softened and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add all the pork chops and any accumulated juices back to the pan, overlapping if necessary. Add the orange juice and 1/4 cup water. Bring the liquid to a simmer, swirling the pan to release any bits stuck to the bottom. Cover and cook for 3 minutes, then uncover and cook until the pork is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the cooked chops to a board and allow the sauce to continue cooking until reduced and sticky, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Transfer the bok choy to the serving platter. Slice the pork and transfer to the platter along with any accumulated juices from the meat. Spoon the pan sauce and squeeze the caramelized orange halves over the top.

Tips:

  • Choose pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick for best results.
  • To make sure the pork chops are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the pork chops for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • While the pork chops are cooking, make the citrus glaze by combining orange juice, lemon juice, honey, and cornstarch in a saucepan.
  • Bring the glaze to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
  • Once the pork chops are cooked, spoon the citrus glaze over them and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

These pork chops with citrus glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The pork chops are juicy and tender, and the citrus glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
