Not Your Average Moist And Tender Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Combine cold water, salt, peppercorns, and bay leaf for brine in a bowl. Place pork chops in a shallow baking dish and pour the brine over top. Let sit for 1 to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper for rub in a small mixing bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Remove pork chops from brine, rinse under cold water, and pat dry. Rub pork chops generously on both sides with the seasoning mix. Discard brine.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to the hot skillet. Add pork chops to the hot oil and sear until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Turn pork chops and place skillet in the preheated oven. Bake until no longer pink in the center, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• 2. Mix together black pepper, seasoning salt, garlic & onion powder. Rub evenly all over each pork chop. (Season to your taste. My husband doesnt like his as salt so I season his less.)
• 3. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over med-high heat. Lay pork chops on pan and allow to sear for 2 minutes without moving them. Flip the pork chops over and allow to sear for 1 minute longer.
• 4. Remove pork chops and place in an oven safe baking dish. I use a 19 x 13 pyrex baking dish.
• 5. Pour in the water. You will want the water to come about 1/3 the way up the pork chop.
• 6. Cover baking dish tightly. I use tinfoil and seal the sides very tight. Place in preheated oven.
• 7. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Your pork should be at 160 degrees when done. I would not check until at least an 1 1/2 hours have past. You will let out all the steam that is keeping the chops moist.
• 8. The juices in the baking dish make a wonderful gravy.
