Sticky Thyme Mustard Bacon Chops Recipes

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.

BACON STEAK WITH CORIANDER, SMOKED OYSTER MUSHROOMS AND THYME BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the star anise, clove, and black pepper. Dust each piece of bacon with the spices.
• Heat a large, oven-safe saute pan over low heat until hot. Add the seasoned bacon and cook for 10 minutes. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and cook for another 10 minutes.
• Place a large saute pan on the stovetop. Add the coriander to the pan and then place the metal cooling rack on top of the pan. Scatter the mushrooms in the steamer basket and place the basket on top of the cooling rack. Cover the saute pan, cooling rack, and steamer basket with aluminum foil. Turn the burner on low heat and allow the mushrooms to smoke for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the steamer basket and metal rack from the pan. Dump out the coriander. Place the pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and the smoked mushrooms. Saute the mushrooms until crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add salt, and pepper, to taste.
• Remove the mushrooms from the pan, and in the same pan add 1 stick butter. Melt the butter over medium heat until the foam subsides and butter just begins to turn brown. Stir in the thyme and cook, stirring, until the butter is golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the bacon steaks from the oven. Pour the browned butter over the steaks and serve each with mushrooms on the side.
