Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 thick-cut pork chops
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons brown sugar
olive oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine your spices (paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt).
  • Rub the pork chops in the spices generously.
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium/high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pork chops. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until they have a nice caramelized brownness to them. Once you feel that they are looking browned, add a Tablespoon of brown sugar to each pork chop. Turn each pork chop over, so both sides get some melted brown sugar. (Don't add the brown sugar too early or else the sugar will burn and smoke up the room.)
  • Bake at 350˚F (175˚C) for 15 minutes, making sure the pork chops are cooked through.
  • Before serving, pour the glaze that's formed in the pan over the chops. Serve with your vegetables of choice.

PORK CHOPS WITH GLAZED PEACHES



Pork Chops with Glazed Peaches image

This is a really simple, quickie pork chop dish that looks and tastes amazing. We'll use some peaches to bring out that nice, fresh summer flavor and the drippings to make a great pan sauce.

Provided by Seamus Mullen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pork loin, bone-in, preferably from a heritage breed big, about 8 bones or 4 thick-cut pork chops
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 peaches, slightly under-ripened
2 cloves garlic
Handful of fresh sage
1/4 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • To cut chops from a bone-in pork loin, follow along the rib bone with a sharp knife to make one clean cut. Season the pork chops thoroughly with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. One at a time, cover each chop with a piece of plastic wrap and lightly pound with the back of a heavy knife or a spoon to work the seasoning into the chops.Cut the peaches into medium ½-inch chunks. Slice the garlic cloves into thin slivers. Pull the sage leaves from the stems and thinly slice.
  • Heat a heavy bottomed cast-iron pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
  • To the hot pan, add all of the chops standing up on their fat cap side, to render off some of the fat, and pan-sear for a few minutes. Remove two of the chops, and lay the other two down on their meatier sides, to pan sear and cook through. After a few minutes, carefully turn over and brown the other side for another few minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
  • Repeat for the remaining chops. Remove from the pan and let rest with the other pork chops.Drain and discard some of the cooking oil. Add the peaches to the pan and sauté vigorously, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sage, and immediately add the apple cider. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the butter and swirl the mixture together, to emulsify the butter into the peaches. Remove from the heat.
  • Stack the rested pork chops on a platter and finish by spooning the peaches and pan juices over top. Serve immediately.

PORK CHOPS WITH JAMMY-MUSTARD GLAZE



Pork Chops With Jammy-Mustard Glaze image

Fruit and mustard are two classic accompaniments to pork, and really, a juicy chop doesn't need much more than that for a sweet and tangy sauce. Mix together water, grainy mustard and any fruit preserve that's good with pork like cherry, fig, peach or apricot. Sear bone-in pork chops mostly on one side to prevent overcooking, then pour the fruit-mustard mixture into the skillet while they rest. The pork will stay moist, and its juices will have time to mingle with the sauce. Then just slice the pork and drape it in the velvety two-ingredient glaze. Eat with mashed or roasted potatoes and a green salad.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     weeknight, meat, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons cherry, fig, peach or apricot preserves, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard, plus more if needed
4 (1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick) pork rib chops (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons neutral oil (such as canola or grapeseed)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup water, the preserves and the mustard. Set near the stove. Pat the pork chops dry, and season all over with salt and pepper.
  • In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the pork chops and cook, occasionally pressing down to make good contact with the skillet, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, flip the chops and cook until opaque on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the jam-mustard mixture, turn off the heat, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the chops to plates, then return the skillet to medium-low heat and simmer, scraping up browned bits, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Every jam is different, so if it's too sweet, add more mustard, salt or black pepper; if it's too salty, add a little more jam; if it's too intense or thick, add a little more water; if it's flat, add salt. Spoon sauce over the pork chops.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • To create a flavorful glaze, use a combination of sweet and savory ingredients such as honey, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, and herbs. You can also add a touch of heat with cayenne pepper or Sriracha sauce.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the pork chops in a skillet over medium heat. Just make sure to sear them well on both sides before reducing the heat to low and cooking them through.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with glaze are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for any occasion. Whether you grill them, pan-fry them, or bake them, these pork chops are sure to be a hit. With a variety of glazes to choose from, you can easily customize this dish to suit your own taste preferences.
