SCHWEINEBRATEN-MARINATED PORK LOIN CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix all spices and onion in a ziploc bag.
• Generously oil both sides of meat, and place in bag.
• Zip up bag, shake around to coat chops well. Remove excess air from bag, reseal and place in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
• Every day, gently knead bag to mix up spices a little.
• After 3-5 days, remove chops from bag, discard bag containing spices, and onion.
• Cook chops on the grill and serve on buttered hard rolls.
• Things I have learned by making these:.
• You can mix up the dry spice blend in advance, (Except the fresh parsley) and keep in a sealed jar. Typically I use it within a month.
• The spice amounts may seem excessive, but they are correct.
• Do not use chops thicker than 1/2 inch, or they are too tough.
• I oil the chops up really good and even add a tablespoon or 2 to the bag to make it a little more liquidy (is that a word?).
• When you remove them from the bag, they are messy.
• The spices stick pretty thick to the chop. That's ok, grill them like this and if you like, you can scrap a little seasoning off after grilling.
• When I use Hot Hungarian Paprika, DS likes to put ranch dressing on his sandwich.
• Grilling does them more justice than broiling, and only takes about 10 minutes.

THE BEST JUICY SKILLET PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt - we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
• After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to pat the pork chops dry, then rub both sides of the chops with the spice rub.
• Heat the oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.
• Reduce the heat to low, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook 6 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145° F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. Cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes after that. If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if, when cutting into the chops, the juices run clear.
• Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
• While the pork rests, make the pan sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the chicken stock, vinegar, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan so that any stuck bits of pork come up.
• Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Taste, then adjust the seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or honey.
• Slide the skillet off of the heat and when the sauce is no longer simmering, swirl in the butter.
• Slide the pork chops back into the pan and spoon some of the sauce on top. Alternatively, slice the chops, then place them back into the pan. Scatter fresh parsley over the pork, and then serve.
