Best 9 Tender Tasty Pork And Tater Skillet Cassies Recipes

THE BEST JUICY SKILLET PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt - we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
• After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to pat the pork chops dry, then rub both sides of the chops with the spice rub.
• Heat the oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.
• Reduce the heat to low, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook 6 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145° F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. Cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes after that. If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if, when cutting into the chops, the juices run clear.
• Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
• While the pork rests, make the pan sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the chicken stock, vinegar, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan so that any stuck bits of pork come up.
• Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Taste, then adjust the seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or honey.
• Slide the skillet off of the heat and when the sauce is no longer simmering, swirl in the butter.
• Slide the pork chops back into the pan and spoon some of the sauce on top. Alternatively, slice the chops, then place them back into the pan. Scatter fresh parsley over the pork, and then serve.

JUICIEST BAKED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Dry the pork tenderloins well with paper towels.
• Mix the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Rub this spice mix over all sides of the pork.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork, working in 2 batches if your pan is not big enough to fit both tenderloins without them touching. Sear the pork on all sides until it is brown, about 6 minutes total. Take the pan off the heat.
• Move the pork to a baking dish. If the spices left in the pan are black, wipe them away with a paper towel. Return the pan to the heat and add the beef broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck-on bits then boil for 1 minute until it reduces to about ¼ cup. Pour this sauce over the pork.
• Pour the apple cider vinegar over the pork then dot the top with the butter. Cover the baking dish with foil.
• Bake the pork for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Serve with a little minced parsley, for color.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH DRESSING AND PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• For the dressing: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Continue to cook until the butter begins to bubble and smoke. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the bread cubes and poultry seasoning to the skillet and stir and fold the bread to toast it, 3 to 4 minutes. The bread should start to brown and should smell amazing.
• Turn off the heat and drizzle in about 1 cup of the broth and fold it into the bread. Drizzle in enough more broth to moisten the dressing but not make it soggy. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Once you're happy with the flavors, stir in the parsley and thyme.
• Dot the top of the dressing with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover the skillet with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until browned, about 10 minutes longer.
• For the pork: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the tenderloin with the thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Press the seasonings firmly onto the pork.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or other ovenproof sauté pan over medium-high heat. Swirl in the oil. When the first wisp of white smoke appears, add the pork and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 5 minutes, then flip the pork and return the skillet to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the pork reaches 135 degrees F. Remove from the oven, transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let rest until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F for a nice medium, 8 to 10 minutes. (If you want the pork a little more well done, remove from the oven at 140 degrees F and let rest until 145 degrees F.)
• For the quick gravy: Place the hot pan the pork cooked in back over medium-high heat. Toss in the butter and shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot is light brown and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir for another minute, making a rough roux. Slowly stir in the cold broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the gravy just simmers. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Finish by stirring in the cream.
• Slice the pork and serve it with the dressing and gravy, and garnish with chopped parsley.

TASTY TENDER PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Remove pork chops from refrigerator one half hour ahead of preparing them.
• 2. Empty one sleeve of saltine crackers into food processor and pulse till crackers are in 1/4-inch pieces and smaller. If you don't have a food processor, use a zip lock bag and rolling pin. Pour crumbs a into shallow container (I use a metal pie plate).
• 3. Beat eggs until well combined and pour into shallow pan ( again I use a pie plate).
• 4. In a large skillet over medium heat, pour enough olive oil in the bottom just to coat.
• 5. Dredge pork chops, one at a time, in the beaten eggs, coating each side. Then put pork chops in cracker crumbs, pressing down to coat thoroughly. Turn pork chop over and repeat pressing down firmly to coat well.
• 6. Put pork chops in hot oil and salt and pepper each one. Fry till a golden brown and turn pork chop over and again fry till golden brown (you may have to pour more oil in the skillet again just to coat).
• 7. When pork chops are golden brown on each side, reduce heat to low and pour five ounces of water in the skillet. Cover with a lid to let steam for about 20 minutes. Check about every 10 minutes to make sure they aren't burning or need more water. If they need more water, add just 2-3 ounces.
• 8. After the 20 minutes is up, check and see is they are fork tender (fork should go in and pull out easily). If not, cook covered with lid till they are fork tender.
• 9. When fork tender, remove lid and increase cooking temperature to slightly over medium heat. Cook till bottom side crispy then turn chop and fry till that side is crispy. Serve with fried apples, hot biscuits and butter.
• 10. If I am serving them with fried apples, I use the saltine crackers. If I'm serving them with oven fried potatoes or another vegetable and salad, I sometimes will use crushed buttered garlic croutons...just follow the above direction. Have also used roughly crushed Chicken Stove Top dressing with tasty results.
