Simple and Delicious Pork Chop Recipe
Recipe Overview
Overview
This pork chop recipe is a delightful blend of simplicity and flavor. The process begins with tenderizing the pork chops, which is essential for achieving that melt-in-your-mouth texture. After seasoning and coating them with cornstarch, they are set aside to marinate, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat. The frying step is crucial; cooking them until golden brown ensures a delicious crust that locks in moisture.
The sauce is where this dish truly shines. Sautéing onions and garlic in butter creates a fragrant base, while the addition of black pepper, soy sauce, and a splash of milk brings depth and richness. The final touch of whipping cream and ketchup adds a unique twist, balancing savory and slightly sweet notes. This sauce perfectly coats the pork chops, making each bite flavorful.
This recipe is not only quick but also versatile, making it ideal for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. Serve it with a side of vegetables or over rice for a complete meal. It’s a dish that will impress without requiring extensive culinary skills, making it a go-to for any home cook.
