PAN-SEARED PORK CHOPS



Pan-Seared Pork Chops image

The secret to the juiciest, most flavorful pork chop is a simple brine with just two ingredients: salt and sugar (okay, maple sugar). Once you've brined, a stepped-up weeknight dinner is just a sear, baste, and bake away.

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup Water
1/4 cup kosher salt, plus 2 tsp
3 tablespoons maple sugar, or granulated sugar
1 1/2 pounds ice cubes, or 3 cups cold water
4 bone-in center-cut pork chops, 1 1/2 inches thick, 8?10 oz each
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, divided
1 bunch fresh thyme sprigs, divided

Steps:

  • Brine: In a medium saucepan, bring water, salt, and maple sugar to a boil over high heat. Stir until dissolved, 5 minutes. Turn off heat and add ice to the concentrated brine, diluting and quickly chilling it so you can use it right away. (Alternately, add 3 cups cold water to the concentrated brine and chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour before using.)
  • Pork Chops: Three hours before you plan to cook the pork chops, place them in a gallon-size zip-top bag set in a bowl (for easy pouring and clean-up), then pour in the brine, making sure the chops are submerged. Seal, and chill in the refrigerator 2 hours.
  • Remove pork chops from bag and discard brine. Dry chops well with paper towels. Allow meat 1 hour to come to room temperature (this will ensure even cooking). Season each chop on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and heat until rippling but not smoking, 2 minutes. Sear pork chops, 1 at a time, pressing the meat down with a heavy plate or bowl to get an even, golden sear on the bottom, 1-2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and pork chops. Finish the chops by placing back in the pan, 2 at a time (for a 9-inch skillet). Turn off heat and add 3 tablespoons butter and a sprig of thyme. Tilt the pan and, using a long-handled spoon, baste the chops with the butter. Repeat with remaining chops and butter.
  • Finish by placing all of the pork chops on the preheated baking sheet and roasting in the oven 3-5 minutes. Chops will be done when they're springy to the touch and the thickest part, near the bone, reaches 120 degrees F.
  • Assembly: Transfer chops to a bed of thyme and tent lightly with foil to rest, 5-7 minutes. Remove tent, discard thyme, and serve.

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
Four 1-inch-thick bone-in pork chops
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup ginger beer or ginger ale
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Mix together the salt, ginger, pepper, mustard and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the pork chops with the spice mix. Rub on both sides.
  • Heat the butter and oil in large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the pork chops. Cook on one side until deep brown on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pork chops to a plate to rest.
  • Meanwhile, pour the ginger beer into a small skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the mustard and the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and let reduce until it is thickened and combined, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the pork chops, then sprinkle with the parsley and serve!
