Pork Vegetable Skillet Recipes

SKILLET ROASTED PORK CHOPS WITH SPRING VEGETABLES AND MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice water bath. In batches by type, blanch the radishes, English peas and snow peas in the boiling water for 1 minute per batch. Transfer each batch to the ice water to stop the cooking process, then transfer to a colander to drain. Cut the snow peas into julienne strips. Transfer the blanched vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with the coriander, cumin and some salt and pepper.
• Add the oil to the pan and heat until smoking. Add the pork chops, reduce the heat to medium and cook until caramelized on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the chops and cook until caramelized on the other side, another 3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, tarragon and 3 tablespoons of the butter. Cook, basting the pork with the butter (be careful not to burn the butter, though it will brown lightly), until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F for medium, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chops to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you make the sauce and finish the vegetables.
• Drain off half of the butter, add the leeks and saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the white wine and cook, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the chicken stock and mustard and cook for a few minutes until slightly reduced. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to form a pan sauce and season with the champagne vinegar. Add the reserved vegetables to warm in the sauce while it simmers to reduce, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper as necessary.
• Serve the vegetables and sauce with the pork and garnish with dill.

PORK AND VEGGIE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add carrots and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add corn and peas; cook until veggies are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove all veggies to a bowl and keep warm.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add pork and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add green onions, garlic, ginger, and chili powder; fry until pork is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
• Add 1 cup water, soy sauce, honey, and bouillon to the skillet. Stir 2 tablespoons cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl, then gradually add to the skillet, stirring constantly; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Return vegetables and pork to the pan. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 more minutes. Stir in peanuts.
• Serve over rice.

SIMPLE PORK AND CABBAGE SKILLET

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork chops in the hot oil until well-browned on each side, about 10 minutes per side.
• Add the cabbage, onion, apple, 2 cups of water, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the skillet; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and place a cover on the skillet. Cook at a simmer until the pork chops are completely tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Remove the pork and vegetable mixture from the skillet, leaving as much of the liquid in the skillet as possible. Whisk the water and flour together in a small bowl. Raise the heat under the skillet to medium-high. Pour the flour mixture into the remaining liquid in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens and begins to boil. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer an additional 5 minutes. Pour the gravy over the pork and vegetable mixture.

SKILLET PORK STEAKS WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• The main ingredient to this great recipe is Boneless Lean Pork Steaks seasoned just right.
• These are the main vegetables for this dish.
• Combine spices with flour, & season steaks liberally on both sides. I used my own personal spice blend plus extra granulated garlic & onion with Paprika for browning.
• Add oil to a large skillet, and heat over medium high heat, then add the seasoned steaks, and cook until browned the turning to other side, and remove from skillet to a large platter, and repeat until all the steaks are browned. NOTE: STEAKS NEED NOT BE FULLY COOKED AT THIS POINT, JUST BROWNED FOR THEY WILL CONTINUE TO COOK WHEN VEGGIES ARE ADDED.
• Return steaks to skillet, then add in all of the chopped veggies and canned sliced mushrooms.
• Top the vegetables with the undiluted cans of soup. My husband marveled at how the flavors of this dish came together, and loved all of the vegetables.
• Cover with a tight fitting lid. Reduce the heat to very low, and allow steaks to continue cooking, stirring occasionally to prevent steaks from sticking to bottom of skillet. Cook at least 45 minutes to an hour, or as desired to assure steaks are tender. Serve over cooked rice, noodles or potatoes.
