Open in Pepper →A good pork chop doesn't need flour or crumbs to be worth eating. Garlic, butter, salt, and a hot pan do the work, and you get a crust and juice from the chop itself.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on nights when the meat is still half-frozen at five o'clock and supper has to be on the table by six, with no sides that take an hour.
Every recipe here keeps it simple: garlic pork chop bites you can eat with a fork straight from the skillet, baked pork chops with seasoning and nothing else, baked pork chops with a garlic cream cheese topping, easy garlic-butter chops, garlic butter chops with vinegar peppers, and pan seared pork chops with onion.
Let the chops sit out
Pull them from the fridge 20 to 30 minutes before cooking so they brown evenly instead of staying cold and gray in the middle.
Pat them bone dry
Blot both sides with paper towels before seasoning. Wet pork steams in the pan and never gets that brown crust.
Cook to 145 degrees
Check the thickest part with a thermometer and pull at 145°F. A little pink in the center is right for pork.
Rest before you cut
Give the chops 5 minutes on a plate after cooking so the juice stays in the meat instead of running onto the cutting board.
