How Do You Like To Do Pork Chops?

ECBG — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 00:17:23 GMT

My go to is pork loin chops. We usually grill pork chops. I always liked them browned then baked with garlic and mushroom soup and 1/2 can of water.

I know I could do stir fry, but I am not that fond of pork chops.

@ECBG oh that is the way I always liked them. Pan seared (chops need to be room temp) and then add cream of mushroom soup diluted with alittle water and served with mashed potatoes and applesauce. It was a family favorite.

I have done that but we always need a green vegetable.

This is a great topic. I don't know why, but I've never made a pork chop that had a good consistency. They always came out like shoe leather. No matter how I panseared them, and cook them in a soupy broth, or in a crockpot, baking them, or even on the grill. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. But I did see one poster who said to keep them at room temperature. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong. What's the secret to a pork chop that is fork tender?

Smear with Mayo, dip in Italian bread crumbs, pan fry....yum!

Pork loin, too.

We are plain eaters, nothing on top of our meat. I put the chops in the oven, and bake until done and browned.

Served with mashed or baked sweet potatoes with a salad, and another vegetable.

@Effie54

High heat=tough meat always. Just barely brown (or don't) the chops before the crock pot.

@ECBG My favorite way is to brine them in a salt brine for 24 hours and then rinse and pat dry and rub with with our favorite pork BBQ rub, and then grill them.

Second favorite is to bread and fry and bake them in sauerkraut.

I also like to buy thin sliced pork chops, pound them, bread them and make schnitzel. Can't do it like they do in Austria, but pretty close.

I made pork chops last night my husbands favorite way. I seared them in a pan with chopped onions and bell peppers with garlic and a little salt. Then I added canned crushed tomatoes and rice, I cooked separately, and seasoned them with fresh basil.

I added a little water and placed a lid on the pan and simmered them so the chops got tender and the basil released its great flavor.

I did that and they were still.......tough! Oh man, they were hard to chew.

Wow, that sounds very good!

If you try the Rastelli prime rib chops, they are unbelievably tender and tasty....

@Effie54 I occasionally change the spices for a different taste by using a southwest spice blend or whatever I am in the mood for.

It is good and easy.

Ditto....I brine all pork for 4 -24 hours in a salt/sugar brine. 1/4 kosher salt + 1/4 sugar to 8 cupss of water. You can cut proportion in half if you need less water to cover pork.

If I grill it's 5 minutes each side, rest for 2 minutes.

If I put in sauce, it's 4 minutes each side, place on plate, make sauce, put chops and any juices into sauce to warm thru.

I pound and make schnitzel....so good.

I occasionally will bake in oven...usually if I am doing stuffed pork chops and gravy.

@Foxxee That's us too, but we go for pork tenderloins. I can't remember when we've had pork chops.

@kate2357 Yeah, I add sugar to the brine too. I forgot that part. DH does the grilling, and he works magic with those pork chops. He can't tell me how long on each side, because he just goes by sight and feel.

Yeah...it depends on thickness, etc. But that range is pretty good for avg thickness. That brine works great on pork and poultry. It's made my dishes turn out so much better.

I made some recently like a stew, adding carrots, onion and celery. I used an envelope of reduced sodium brown gravy and it turned out pretty good. I boiled potatoes separately to go with it.

I never had any luck with searing or frying. Always had tough meat that way.

Batter & fry them! Make cream gravy, mashed taters and a green veggie (usually broccoli or asparagus) and if I'm lucky some homemade biscuits!
