Sherry Garlic Pork Chops Recipes

SHERRY GARLIC PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Heat a skillet that you have a lid for on med-high for 2-3 minutes, add the olive oil. When you see the first bit of smoke put the chops in and turn the heat to high. Brown chops on both sides, no more than 2 min per side. Moving them in the pan helps to brown them better, I was busy making our side and didn't bounce them around enough.
• 2. Add garlic and wine, reduce heat to medium. Cook until wine is almost gone, turning once, another few minutes. Add stock, cover, and cook (turning a couple of times )on low for 10-15 minutes.
• 3. I cook my chops as he describes--when I cut into them they are slighly pink but turn pale quickly. If you prefer them more done cook to your liking; either way remove chops when done and set aside.
• 4. Add sherry, scrape bottom of pan to deglaze, and cook on medium for a minute or so until slightly reduced. Add butter (or oil) and garlic and cook, on med-high, until syrupy. Pour some of the sauce over chops, pour the rest in a gravy boat. My eldest pours the sauce over the potatoes and will sometimes dip her green beans in it as well.

STICKY GARLIC PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, and fish sauce in a bowl for the marinade. Add a splash of soy sauce and a plop of ketchup. Finish off with black pepper and hot sauce.
• Pour 1/2 of the marinade into a baking dish and lay pork chops over marinade. Pour the remaining marinade on top and toss pork chops until well coated. Wrap with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, flipping chops every 30 minutes, 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove chops to a plate, scraping any excess marinade back into the baking dish.
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place chops in the hot oil. Cook until outsides are nicely charred and meat springs back when lightly prodded, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chops to a plate to rest.
• Pour the marinade into the skillet. Raise heat to medium-high. Cook until marinade is reduced and sticky, 3 to 5 minutes. Return pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook pork chops, flipping and basting occasionally, until the centers are slightly pink and sauce is to your desired degree of stickiness, 6 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork should read about 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Plate each pork chop and spoon a portion of the sticky garlic sauce on top.

PORK CHOPS WITH SHERRY VINEGAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place a heavy saute pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and swirl to coat the pan evenly. Add the pork chop to the pan and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. The chops will turn golden brown as the natural sugars in the pork caramelize and create a nice crust. Turn the chops and sear on the second side for 1 minute. Transfer to the oven and cook to desired doneness. It should take about 10 to 12 minutes in the oven for the pork to be just cooked through and juicy.
• Remove the pork from the oven and place the pork chops on a plate to rest while you make the sauce. Loosely cover with foil. Remove the excess fat from the pan and return the pan to the burner. Turn the heat to medium high. Carefully deglaze the pan with the sherry vinegar and sherry and scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the veal stock and barbecue sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and reduce until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the Dijon mustard and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and whisk to combine. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and minced chives.
• Serve the pork with the sauce.
