Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Pork     Quick & Easy     Capers     Garlic     Pork Chop     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (1"-thick) bone-in pork rib chops (look for the most marbled ones you can find, preferably with some fat cap too)
Kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp. sugar, divided
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 large shallot, chopped
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 sprigs rosemary
1 Tbsp. drained capers
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Season pork chops with salt and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 tsp. sugar. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook chops, undisturbed, until well browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook just until second side is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer chops to a plate (they won't be fully cooked); reduce heat to medium.
  • Pour remaining 1 Tbsp. oil into same skillet and add shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until softened and just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add vinegar and remaining 1 tsp. sugar to skillet. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until vinegar is nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Add rosemary, capers, and 1/2 cup water to skillet; season with salt. Reduce heat as needed to maintain a very low simmer. Add butter and swirl pan continuously (and vigorously) until sauce becomes smooth, glossy, and emulsified.
  • Return pork chops to skillet, arranging darker side up. Simmer gently in sauce, swirling occasionally, until chops are cooked through, about 3 minutes (a thermometer inserted near the bones should register 135°F).
  • Transfer pork chops to plates and spoon sauce over.

SPICY & SWEET PORK CHOP STEAKS FOR TWO



Spicy & Sweet Pork Chop Steaks for Two image

Very fast, and easy to make. My experimentation on a fast recipe. This recipe is something that I experimented with, and was shocked when I tasted it! My husband loves it! Great for junior chefs, and busy people!

Provided by Usako Yamakawa

Categories     Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 boneless center cut pork chops
3 tablespoons water
1/4 yellow onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic (or more if you love garlic)
3 tablespoons apricot jam
1 cup hot salsa (I use chunky salsa)
1 teaspoon season salt
salt

Steps:

  • Chop the onion, and the garlic if you are using fresh garlic and not the jarred minced version.
  • In a bowl mix the water, onion, garlic, jam, salsa and salt together until well mixed.
  • It's okay to taste it a little bit so that you can see if you need to add more of something, but don't over-do it!
  • Next take out the pork.
  • Leave the chops whole, but with a knife cut random areas so that the mix's juices that you made will go through the pork.
  • In any cooking pot with a lid (that will allow you to put two pork chops into it)- throw the sauce into the pot.
  • Place the pork chops also into the pot.
  • With a spoon dig up some of the sauce in the pan and put some of it on the top of the pork chops.
  • Turn your stove on with a medium to high heat, until the sauce starts to heat up.
  • Then lower the heat enough (medium heat), and now cover, and allow to cook well, flipping it over every 8-10 minutes.
  • Remember to keep putting the sauce on the sides of the pan on top of the pork every time you flip them over.
  • Don't let the sauce burn into the bottom of the pot.
  • When done, the sauce should not be too watery.
  • Top with the sauce that you made to cook the pork with into a plate.
  • Serve with rice!
  • My husband loves this quick to make and cook dish!
  • Note: If you want to add more pork for more people just increase the salsa and jam.
  • And add the rest of the ingredients to your taste.

SWEET N SPICY PORK CHOPS



Sweet N Spicy Pork Chops image

These are broiled, nicely spiced, and always a big hit. They're quick to prepare also, and work as well for a family dinner as they do for company. I usually make some type of green beans (if I'm really in a hurry I get a can of Del Monte seasoned green beans), and some type of potatoes, but mac n cheese works too. Also, kids love these.

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 center-cut pork chops (or the type you prefer, thickness is up to you)
ground black pepper
granulated garlic
brown sugar, for each chop (I use light, but dark will work)
salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Line large broiler pan with foil (if not using heavy duty foil. line it twice, makes for easy clean up) Also. you just need the bottom of the pan, not the rack.
  • Place chops in pan, and season heavily with, pepper, and garlic (and note I mean HEAVY). Lightly salt, if desired. Then top with about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Place under broiler, (if using gas - use 2nd from top slot, if electric, either 2nd from top, or 3rd). If chops are really thick, for gas broiler, put on bottom slot.
  • Cook about 10 - 15 minutes, until sugar is bubbly and turning quite dark. The dark color is mostly just the sugar getting brown, not the meat.
  • Turn chops, then repeat with spices and sugar (yes another 2 tablespoons), and cook another 10 or 15 minutes, till done. Just keep watching them to make sure they don't burn, but remember the sugar is going to bubble and get dark, so account for that--just make sure pork is cooked totally through (or to the doneness you prefer). Cooking time is of course going to vary based on how thick your chops are.
  • Hope you enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in, center-cut pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. These will cook evenly and stay juicy.
  • Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. You can use a grill, a skillet, or a baking dish.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the pork chops are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest: After cooking the pork chops, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dinner option. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your pork chops are cooked perfectly and are packed with flavor. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad, and you'll have a meal that everyone will enjoy.
