My very easy way to cook Pan-Fried Pork Chops is here for you to enjoy! Sometimes it’s good to go back to basics and let the ingredients speak for themselves.
If you invest in some really good quality, high-end chops from your local butcher or superstore counter, you shouldn’t need to play around with them. No need to add lots of sauces, seasonings and sprinkles – just a few choice ingredients that will really enhance the flavor of the meat. Here, I just add cayenne pepper for a touch of heat and sprinkle the chops with some flour to help them get a gorgeous brown and caramelized crust. And that’s it! Simple but delicious.
To make Pan-Fried Pork Chops, you will need the following ingredients:
In a small bowl, mix together the flour and a pinch each of cayenne, salt and pepper (add more cayenne if you like it spicy).
Season each side of the pork chops with salt and pepper, before dunking them in the flour mixture. Ensure they are fully coated, then lay on a plate to one side.
Over a medium-high heat, melt the oil and butter together in a large skillet.
Place 3 chops in the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes on one side, before turning over and cooking for a further 1-2 minutes. The chops should turn golden brown and the juices should run clear. Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a plate and fry the remaining chops.
Serve hot with a side of smashed new potatoes.
