Learn how to cook pork chops with this easy pork chop recipe. Pork chops are super fast and easy to make and when done well, they rival any t-bone steak around.

Ingredients

Pork chops 4
Butter 1 Tablespoon
Oil 1 Tablespoon
Mustard seed 1 Teaspoon
Thyme 1 Teaspoon
Black pepper 1 Teaspoon
Paprika 1 Teaspoon
Salt 1 Teaspoon

Directions

MAKING:

1.Sprinkle about a half- teaspoon of the mix on each pork chop and rub it in. Then flip them over and sprinkle another half teaspoon on the other side. Rub that in.

2.Turn your stove on high heat to preheat your skillet.

3.Add about a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of oil to the pan and let it melt and get all sizzlin. Put in your pork chops. Arrange them so that the bony side or the thicker side is towards the middle of the pan where it is hottest.

4.Cook them for 2 minutes if they are boneless and thin (if you butterflied them), 3-4 minutes if they are bone-in.

5.Flip them over and turn the heat down to medium-low. Cook them for another 2 minutes for thin ones or 3-4 minutes for the other ones.

6.Turn the heat off. Poke them with your finger. They should feel firm, but not hard. Poke them with a knife. They are good to go if theres just a little pink tinge to the juices.

SERVING:

7.Serve hot.

NOTES

For the pork chops: Get you some. Bone-in or boneless whatever your preference. Bone-in take a little longer to cook but are harder to overcook so they might be good to start with. If your boneless pork chops are more than an inch thick, I recommend butterflying them to give you a thinner piece of meat that will cook faster and more evenly.
