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 the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Make sure your marinade is flavorful: The marinade is what will give your pork chops their flavor, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a combination of citrus juices, spices, and herbs to create a marinade that's both tangy and savory.
  • Let the pork chops marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the pork chops marinate, the more flavor they will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the pork chops for as little as 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate them for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning them.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The best way to ensure that your pork chops are cooked to perfection is to use a meat thermometer. Pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with spicy citrus marinade are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The marinade infuses the pork chops with flavor, and the chops are cooked to perfection in just a few minutes. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a simple salad.
