So I was talking about marinades in another post and when it came to pork I realized I do it differently than other meats.
I don't marinate pork before cooking, I sorta do it during. I rub my pork chops in cooking oil then press both sides into a dry rub. Then I put them in an iron skillet with onions. After flipping I reduce heat to low and add liquid. I usually use angry orchard or any apple beer/hard cider. Really any beer or even ginger ale works. Then I cover with a lid on low heat and cook until most of the liquid is gone and pork is done. Makes them juicy and flavorful.
For the dry rub I use salt or meat tenderizer, blackened seasoning, or sometimes Italian seasoning. Black pepper or Southwest Mrs dash is good too.
I've never tried doing them in the oven cuz they dry out so bad. And I just buy whatever is on sale. The thin ones do better in skillet.
I like to make fried potatoes and onions with mine. Baked sweet potatoes are good too. And corn of course.
I actually made pork chops for dinner Tuesday. I made coleslaw and Mach choo.
I also never tried the oven route. I have done in quick sear in the skillet, then slow simmered with a golden mushroom and onion sauce (brown flour roux). Since it is pretty earthy, I go with mashed potatoes, peas, and glazed carrots. Hugs to all.
Chops are cut so thin now days. But I buy thick cuts. So the time is different for each. I flip the chops once in the broiler.
Once out, you can cut them with a fork. Be sure you wrap them well so the juices don't escape once turned.
I usually cook them with Scalloped potatoes, (my favorite), peas and Brussels sprouts. A loaf of homemade sour dough goes well.....
