THIN PORK CHOPS RAW RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large shallow bowl. Dredge each pork chop into the flour mixture to coat evenly. Shake off excess flour.
• (if your pork chops are a little dry, rinse and shake off then dredge no egg needed).
• Place oil in a large, heavy skillet and heat over high. When hot, add chops to skillet and cook 1 minute each side, until browned and crisp, working in batches as to not overcrowd the pan. Makes a great pan-sear.
• Drain on paper towels and serve.

Steps:

• First, dry the pork chops slightly by patting them down with the paper towels and season them on both sides with the italian herbs and the salt and pepper.
• Place your skillet on the stove over a medium to high heat and allow it to warm up. It might seem like a minor part of the recipe but it is really important not to be impatient with this step as this is what will help you to achieve the beautiful golden brown sear on your meat. Wait until the skillet is practically shimmering with heat and then (and only then) you can add the pork chops to the pan.
• Completely sear the underside of the pork chops and refrain from moving them or shifting their position once they’ve been placed in the skillet. After about 3 to 5 minutes (depending on the size of the pork chops they may require a few more on both sides) they should be a nice golden brown color on the side that’s face down in the pan so you can flip them over and start to sear the other side.
• Check if your chops are cooked by piercing them with the meat thermometer until the tip reaches the center and check what temperature it is. Once the meat has reached 135°F you can remove the skillet from the heat.
• Allow the pork chops to rest for 10 minutes on a plate which will finish off the cooking process at which point the meat should have an internal temperature of around 145?. Remember though, the size and thickness of the cuts will affect these timings.
