DELICIOUS TANGY PORK CHOPS



Delicious Tangy Pork Chops image

This is a variation of the 'Tangy Chicken' recipe here on Allrecipes.com. It's fast and easy. It makes the chops very juicy and tender. You may be put off by the lemon, but you really don't taste it that strong, it's overpowered by the Worcestershire Sauce. It seems the acid in the lemon helps make the more meat tender and helps the flavor soak in. The garlic is just a hint also, not too strong at all! Garlic powder could also be used.

The sauce is really good and can be poured over rice as a side dish too. I found the base of this recipe 15 years ago when I first started to cook. I have added to it and made it my own.

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:

  • Use a meat mallet or tenderizer to flatten the pork chops before cooking. This will help them cook evenly and reduce the risk of overcooking.
  • Make sure the pork chops are completely coated in the marinade before cooking. This will help them absorb all the flavors.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the pork chops overnight, you can marinate them for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the pork chops should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Tangy citrus pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The citrus marinade helps to tenderize the pork chops and gives them a bright and flavorful taste. These pork chops can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
