These chops are nice and tangy. You could also try this with NY Strip, mouth watering Ribeye, or T-Bone steak. A special thanks to our Zaar friend PaulaG for her help with revising the recipe. :) A great way to ensure tender and moist chops is to soak them in a brine of 1 cup milk to 1/2 Tbs salt for at least 1 hour before using in a recipe.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pork chops, 1/2-inch thick, center cut (or steaks)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (to taste)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or 2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 carrots
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme
olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 orange, juice of

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F Dredge the pork chops (or steaks) in the spices (except oil). Let them sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavor of the spices.
  • Heat frying pan (that is oven safe) over medium high heat with the oil. Place the chops/steaks into the heated pan and sear until golden brown (about 5 minutes each side).
  • Cut carrots into thin slices and toss them in a bowl with the thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the carrots to the saute pan with the pork chops.
  • Place the saute pan into the oven for about 10 minutes or until chops are cooked thru.
  • Remove the chops/steaks from the pan onto serving plates, and leaving the carrots, deglaze the pan with the orange juice.
  • Place carrots atop the chops and drizzle with glaze.
