2 Step Garlic Pork Chops Recipes

EASY HONEY GARLIC PORK CHOPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven broiler (or grill) on medium-high heat. Season chops with salt, pepper and garlic powder just before cooking.
• Heat oil in a pan or skillet over medium high heat until hot. Sear chops on both sides until golden and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes each side). Transfer to a plate; set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the same pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the honey, water and vinegar. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook until the sauce reduces down and thickens slightly (about 3-4 minutes), while stirring occasionally.
• Add pork back into the pan, baste generously with the sauce and broil/grill for 1-2 minutes, or until edges are slightly charred.
• Garnish with parsley and serve over vegetables, rice, pasta or with a salad.

TASTY 2-STEP PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown pork chops in hot oil. Add soup and water; cover and simmer until pork is no longer pink.
• Tomato Basil: Reduce water to 1/3 cup. Add 1/2 cup chopped italian plum tomatoes, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley and 1 teaspoon dried basil or 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves with soup. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter or margarine before serving.
• Lemon Thyme: Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme and 1/4 teaspoon pepper with soup.
• Pork Chops Mornay: Stir 1/3 cup shredded swiss cheese, 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg into sauce after removing from heat.
• Rosemary: Brown pork chops in butter or margarine. Add 1/2 cup sliced green onions and cook 2 minutes. Add 1 can campbells cream of mushroom soup with roasted garlic, 1/3 cup water and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed. Cover and simmer until pork is no longer pink. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream before serving.

STICKY GARLIC PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, and fish sauce in a bowl for the marinade. Add a splash of soy sauce and a plop of ketchup. Finish off with black pepper and hot sauce.
• Pour 1/2 of the marinade into a baking dish and lay pork chops over marinade. Pour the remaining marinade on top and toss pork chops until well coated. Wrap with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, flipping chops every 30 minutes, 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove chops to a plate, scraping any excess marinade back into the baking dish.
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place chops in the hot oil. Cook until outsides are nicely charred and meat springs back when lightly prodded, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chops to a plate to rest.
• Pour the marinade into the skillet. Raise heat to medium-high. Cook until marinade is reduced and sticky, 3 to 5 minutes. Return pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook pork chops, flipping and basting occasionally, until the centers are slightly pink and sauce is to your desired degree of stickiness, 6 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork should read about 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Plate each pork chop and spoon a portion of the sticky garlic sauce on top.
