Quick Pork Cutlets With Tangy Pan Sauce Recipes

QUICK PORK CUTLETS WITH TANGY PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut pork roast into 1/2" rounds.
• Pour the marinade ingredients into a medium size bowl and mix thoroughly.
• Tenderize the meat with a piercing tenderizer (looks like a bunch of nails that stab the meat) or pierce meat 30xs on each side with a fork.
• Place meat in a bowl with marinade as you tenderize each piece, stirring the meat around with each addition so that each piece is covered.
• Heat a large skillet to medium low (4 on my electric stove) and add a tbsp or two of oil (just enough to coat the bottom in a thin layer.).
• Place 2-3 cutlets in the skillet, and cook 3-4 minutes on each side, until they reach 160*F. (Start with the cutlets that were in the marinade the longest.) Remove cooked cutlets to a plate, and place in a warm place (such as a closed microwave.)
• When all the cutlets are done, add the dry chives. Fry for about 30 seconds. The pork should have left a good bit of juice behind. Add the vinegar, and use it to deglaze the pan, scraping up all the good tidbits.
• Add remaining pan sauce ingredients, and simmer for a minute to combine the flavors.
• Spoon the sauce over a few cutlets and enjoy :-).

CRISPY PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Place pork between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
• Place pork pieces on a plate and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over pork pieces, lightly coating both sides. Pour eggs over pork, turning to coat.
• Transfer pork pieces to a bowl filled with panko bread crumbs. Press bread crumbs firmly into the meat on both sides. Transfer breaded cutlets to a clean plate, cover with plastic and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in pickles, jalapeno pepper, and green onions; cook and stir until onions have softened, about 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle in 1 1/2 tablespoon flour. Cook and stir for 3 minutes.
• Slowly stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons cold milk, whisking constantly. Stir in remaining milk, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Simmer on low for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Heat half the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 breaded pork cutlets and cook until pork is not longer pink inside, and the crust is well-browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining vegetable oil and pork cutlets.

PORK WITH TANGY CITRUS SAUCE

Steps:

• Finely grate zest from one orange into a small bowl, then squeeze 1 cup juice from oranges. Stir in lime juice. Set aside.
• Season pork with salt and pepper, then press in flour to coat, shaking off excess. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add pork and cook until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining tablespoon oil. Add onion, season with salt, and cook, scraping up browned bits, until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring.
• Add juices and zest and bring to a boil and cook until reduced by 1/4 about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar, if desired. Return pork to pan and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.

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

CRUNCHY PORK CHOPS WITH TANGY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, whisk the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce and reserve.
• 2. In a shallow dish, beat the egg. Place the flour and crumbs in two separate shallow bowls. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper. Working with one piece at a time, dredge the pork in the flour to coat and shake off excess. Dip in the egg and let excess drip off. Finally, dredge in the panko until well coated. Transfer to a large clean plate. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• 3. Fill a large, heavy skillet with oil to a depth of ¼ inch. Heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add two pork chops; do not crowd the pan. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes, then carefully turn the pieces over. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes, then transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining pork, adding and heating more oil if necessary. Serve the pork with the dipping sauce.
• 4. Once the stovetop is cool, wipe up any oil splatters or meat juices that may have spilled on the counter with Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes*. Rinse hands once complete.
• *Use as directed. For surfaces that may come in contact with food, a potable water rinse is required.

PORK CUTLETS WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• With a meat mallet, pound pork slices to flatten slightly. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle a baking sheet or platter with bread crumbs. Dust pork slices with flour on both sides, then soak in beaten egg for 2 minutes. Using a fork or tongs, remove pork slices one at a time from egg mixture and place on top of crumbs. Sprinkle tops of slices with more bread crumbs, then turn over and sprinkle again so each slice is well coated. (They may be prepared up to this point an hour ahead and refrigerated, uncovered.)
• Mix together parsley, lemon zest and capers in a small bowl. Chop hard-cooked egg and set aside.
• Pour olive oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large cast-iron skillet (or use two pans to avoid crowding). Turn heat to medium high. When oil looks wavy, carefully place cutlets in pan and fry for 2 minutes, until golden. (Reduce heat if necessary.) Turn and cook for 2 minutes on other side, then remove and drain on paper towel. Season fried cutlets lightly with salt and pepper.
• Arrange cutlets on a warm platter. Sprinkle with parsley mixture, then with chopped egg. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

PORK CUTLETS WITH PAPRIKA SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the cutlets in one layer. When the oil is very hot, add the meat and cook over medium high heat for about 5 minutes or until browned. Turn the slices and cook 5 minutes more.
• Remove the fat from the skillet and scatter the onion, marjoram, garlic and paprika around the pork. Cook and stir until lightly browned. Add the vodka and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes. If there is too much liquid, reduce it. Stir in the sour cream; reheat but do not boil.
