SAUTEED SPICE RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH PAN SAUCE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 (1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch) thick center-cut loin pork chops, either rib or T-bone, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons paprika, preferably Hungarian
1 tablespoons chile powder, preferably Gebhardt
1 to 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons granulated garlic, or garlic powder
2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dry mustard, preferably Colman's
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1/2 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth
1/2 cup chicken or beef stock
1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs, such as sage, rosemary, thyme, savory, or dill (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Make rub: mix all ingredients together in a small bowl or jar (You can store it for a couple of months in a tightly sealed jar.)
  • Coat the chops generously with spice rub and let marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. Let refrigerated meat come to room temperature before cooking. Scrape off any excess rub and pat the chops dry.
  • In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over high heat. When the pan is hot enough to sear the chops but not burn them, add the chops. They should make a gentle hissing sound when they hit the pan, not an explosive sputter. Adjust the heat if the pan seems too hot or remove the pan from the heat for 30 seconds or so (count this time as part of the overall cooking time). Sear the chops on one side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until beginning to brown lightly. Turn the chops over and sear for 1 minute more.
  • Reduce the heat so that the chops continue to sizzle -- do not turn the heat so low that there are no more sizzling sounds (if the heat is too low, the chops will sweat and juices will exude from the meat and leave it dry. Cover the pan and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes more on the other side. The chops are done when the meat is firm but not hard when pressed with a finger. Better still, test them with an instant-read thermometer -- the meat should register 145 to 155 degrees and will still be acceptable at 160 degrees. For the juiciest results, remove the chops from the pan when they register 145 degrees, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes or so before serving, to stabilize the juices.
  • To make the pan sauce: pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan, leaving any meat juices. Adjust the heat to medium and add garlic. Stir, cook for 30 seconds, then add remaining ingredients, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce it over high heat until it just turns syrupy. Put the pork chops back into the pan and turn them several times in the sauce to transfer the flavors -- this should take no more than 30 seconds. Serve chops with sauce

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup sorghum syrup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1/2 habanero chile, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 bone-in center-cut or porterhouse pork chops (at least 1-inch thick)
Canola oil, for brushing
2 tablespoons Bobby's Spice Rub for Pork, recipe follows
1/4 cup ancho chile powder
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons dry mustard
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon chile de arbol powder or cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Combine the ketchup, sorghum, vinegar, mustard, ancho powder, habanero and some salt and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside about 1/2 cup for serving; keep warm.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat. Brush the top of the pork chops lightly with canola oil, and rub the oiled side with the spice rub. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Place the chops rub-side down over direct heat on the grill and cook until charred, about 4 minutes. Brush the tops with canola oil, flip, and cook for 1 minute, just to brown the bottom a bit. Brush the tops generously with barbecue sauce; shift them over to indirect heat and cook, covered, until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Remove the chops from the grill, brush them with more of the sauce and let rest, loosely tented, for 10 minutes. Serve with the reserved BBQ sauce.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the ancho, coriander, mustard, paprika, pepper, salt, chile de arbol, cumin and oregano until blended. Store in a cool, dark place, tightly covered, for up to 6 months.
  • Yield: about 1 1/2 cups

1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon unpacked brown sugar
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
20 ounces lean boneless pork chops, four 1/2 inch thick chops
1 lb green beans, steamed

Tips:

  • To ensure your pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also tell if your pork chops are done by cutting into one and checking that the juices run clear.
  • Be sure to marinate your pork chops for at least 30 minutes before cooking, this will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • If you don't have time to marinate your pork chops, you can still season them with a dry rub before cooking.
  • For a crispy crust, sear your pork chops in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.
  • After searing, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook the pork chops for an additional 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve your pork chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
