Sauteed Spice Rubbed Pork Chops With Pan Sauce Food

SAUTEED BONELESS PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in an 11 to 12-inch skillet over low heat. While the pan is heating, sprinkle the chops on both sides with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour.
• A couple of minutes before sauteing, increase the heat to medium-high. When the butter stops foaming and starts to smell nutty brown, arrange the chops in the skillet. Cook, turning only once, until they are a rich golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet.
• Serve with an uncooked relish. Recipe follows.

SAUTEED SPICE RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Make rub: mix all ingredients together in a small bowl or jar (You can store it for a couple of months in a tightly sealed jar.)
• Coat the chops generously with spice rub and let marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. Let refrigerated meat come to room temperature before cooking. Scrape off any excess rub and pat the chops dry.
• In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over high heat. When the pan is hot enough to sear the chops but not burn them, add the chops. They should make a gentle hissing sound when they hit the pan, not an explosive sputter. Adjust the heat if the pan seems too hot or remove the pan from the heat for 30 seconds or so (count this time as part of the overall cooking time). Sear the chops on one side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until beginning to brown lightly. Turn the chops over and sear for 1 minute more.
• Reduce the heat so that the chops continue to sizzle -- do not turn the heat so low that there are no more sizzling sounds (if the heat is too low, the chops will sweat and juices will exude from the meat and leave it dry. Cover the pan and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes more on the other side. The chops are done when the meat is firm but not hard when pressed with a finger. Better still, test them with an instant-read thermometer -- the meat should register 145 to 155 degrees and will still be acceptable at 160 degrees. For the juiciest results, remove the chops from the pan when they register 145 degrees, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes or so before serving, to stabilize the juices.
• To make the pan sauce: pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan, leaving any meat juices. Adjust the heat to medium and add garlic. Stir, cook for 30 seconds, then add remaining ingredients, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce it over high heat until it just turns syrupy. Put the pork chops back into the pan and turn them several times in the sauce to transfer the flavors -- this should take no more than 30 seconds. Serve chops with sauce

SPICE-RUBBED GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• At least 1 and up to 8 hours before you plan to grill the pork chops, prepare the dry rub, combining the ingredients in a small bowl. Coat the chops with the spice mixture, place them in a large plastic bag, seal, and refrigerate.
• Fire up the grill, bringing the heat to medium (4 to 5 seconds with the hand test).
• Remove the chops from the refrigerator and let them sit covered at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
• Spray the chops with oil and transfer them to the grill. Grill for 18 to 20 minutes total. Turn onto each side twice, rotating the chops a half turn each time to get criss-cross grill marks. The chops are done when just a hint of pink remains at the center. Serve hot.

PORK CHOPS WITH CORIANDER-CUMIN SPICE RUB

Steps:

• Combine cumin, coriander, garlic, and 1 tablespoon oil. Pat pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Rub spice mixture on both sides of chops.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook chops until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
• Serve pork chops sprinkled with cilantro. Recipe may be doubled to serve 4.

Steps:

• Mix paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, sage, and garlic salt on a plate. Liberally coat each pork chop with the spice mixture.
• Heat olive oil and several pumps of non-stick, butter-flavored spray in a large skillet over high heat. Place pork chops in the skillet, reducing heat to medium. Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

SAUTéED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Cook chops until well browned, about 5 minutes. Turn chops and cook on the other side another 5 to 6 minutes. Remove to a warm serving platter.
• Pour off most of the fat from the skillet. Add the onions and cook 3 minutes. Add 6 tablespoons of the wine and the vinegar. Stir with a wire whisk, scraping to dissolve brown bit stuck to skillet. Add chicken broth and tomato sauce, stirring to blend. Cook 5 minutes. Combine cornstarch with 1 tsp wine. Stir into sauce. Add mustard, any juices that have accumulated around the pork chops, salt and a generous amount of pepper. Heat sauce, but do not boil.
• Serve.
