Pork chops are delicious if done correctly. The pork loin chop and rib chop are similar to the beef T-bone steak and the rib eye steak, respectively. While pork has to be cooked more carefully than beef, it isn’t hard to enjoy a safe and juicy pork chop either.
This recipe will ship with:
• 1 pork chop
Ingredients
Serves 1-2
• 1 pork chop, 1.25 cm thick
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Oil
Prep
• Season pork chop with salt and black pepper
Cooking
1. Heat up a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to coat the pan.
2. Add the pork chop and cook for about 5-6 minutes. We want the meat to be brown on that side before flipping.
3. Turn over the pork chop and cook for another 5-6 minutes. We want the internal temperature to be between 49º C and 60º C.
4. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Variations
• If I have time, or if I was smart enough to plan ahead, I would do a “dry brine.” Salt the outside of the meat liberally, and leave in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour. This can also be done the night before.
• Create a “pocket” in the pork chop, and stuff it. Dried fruits, nuts, garlic, and herbs are all options.
