This week's recipe came from The Today Show, no link but if you put "Today Show Thin-Cut 'Minute' Pork Chops" in your search engine, it should take you to the recipe. There are a lot of advertisements on this page. It was a very fast, very easy way of cooking, and the soy and balsamic vinegar gave it a very nice flavor. We will definitely be making this again.
Thin-Cut 'Minute' Pork Chops
4 thin-cut, bone-in pork chops
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Combine soy sauce and vinegar in a large bowl. Add pork chops and thoroughly coat with the mixture. Remove chops and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat butter in a sauté pan that's large enough to hold your pork chops without overlapping (we only cooked two but didn't change anything). When butter has started to brown (we used regular butter and not the unsalted), add chops and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until the chops have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
Serve and enjoy!
I'll challenge anyone to try and stick a thermometer in one of those thin pork chops. (If you have a technique please share.) Gregg cooked our pork chops for five minutes on each side and they were just right. I would say you be the judge on how long you cook them. This is what worked for us and the pork wasn't dry at all.
We liked the combination of soy and balsamic vinegar very much. Definitely cooking this again.
We cheated a little and served it with Bob Evans already prepared original mashed potatoes - we haven't found any better store-bought mashed potatoes, to our taste anyhow. The Brussel Sprouts were frozen.
You can tell we were going for an easy, no fuss meal, and it was very tasty.
Thanks for looking, have a great week and...
They look so juicy!!
ReplyDeleteAnd very tasty, thanks Ginny :)
DeleteRecipes that you are happy to make again are always winners.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are, thanks Sue :)
DeleteThey look so tender and loaded with flavours!
ReplyDeleteVery Much so Sue, thank you :)
DeleteI shouldn't read your post when I'm hungry. We cook salmon in a honey and soy sauce.It's nice too.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, sorry about that :) The salmon cooked with honey and soy sauce sounds wonderful! Thanks for the tip!
DeleteEach...the chops, the potatoes, AND the b.sprouts make a great meal. Dresses the plate nicely too. (With the soy sauce tho, I wouldn't season with MORE salt)
ReplyDeleteHi Anni, thank you! Good to alter things to our own taste.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteHubby and I love pork chops, I do not often fry meat.
Take care, enjoy your day and new week ahead.
Thanks Eileen, this is the first time we have sautéed pork chops, in fact the first time we have done chops in a long time. Happily they turned out great :)
DeleteLooks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann :)
DeleteLooks good. Never had pre-packaged potatoes as such..
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret, we use regular potatoes normally and are very picky about already made ones. These are the best we have found and are great when extra tired.
DeleteLooks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne :)
DeleteI love quick and easy will add this to the grocery list thanks Denise!
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome Christine, and thank you :)
DeleteLooks delicious and so easy to prepare!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, so easy :)
DeleteI love all that is shown and it looks so good
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra, enjoyed very much by us :)
DeleteThat sounds like such an easy recipe. I shall try it soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat, thanks Gigi :)
DeleteDelicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks William!
DeleteEasy meals are favorites here as well, Denise. We rarely do pork chops and instead do a pork tenderloin. It cooks up quickly in the oven, plus we have leftovers for another night's meal. I liked the combination of balsamic and soy sauce and it would probably work on the pork tenderloin too.
ReplyDeleteSame here Dorothy and have usually cooked pork tenderloin. I would think the ingredients would work well on those too. These chops were a nice change of pace but will definitely make them again.
DeleteA nice easy recipe, and pork is still reasonably priced, - many thanks.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you Jan, and very reasonable. All the best to you too :)
DeleteJust what's needed sometimes (fast and no-fuss). It is amazing what a difference a couple of ingredients like balsamic and soy sauce can make !
ReplyDeleteSo true, and I agree. We were pleasantly surprised by those additions :)
