Description
This Sweet and Sour Pork Chops Recipe is made with bone-in pork chops, olive oil, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, marmalade, garlic, lemon juice, and horseradish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Pinch salt and pepper
BBQ
- 1 cup of ketchup
- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon of citrus marmalade
- 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of horseradish
- 1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a bowl, add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, citrus marmalade, garlic, lemon juice, horseradish and red pepper flakes.
- Pat chops dry with the paper towel and sprinkle them very generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat your cast iron to medium high and add the olive oil. When it's shimmering hot and not a moment before, add your chops.
- Sear on one side, without moving them at all, until they are nice and golden brown on the first side, about 3-5 minutes. Flip and sear the other side until browned.
- With a basting brush, brush both sides of the pork chops and sear for 1 minute on each side extra.
- The easiest way to check if the pork chop is done is to use meat thermometer. When they reach an internal temperature of 135 F degrees they are done.
- Remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a plate and cover with aluminum foil for 5-7 minutes, during which time they will continue cooking with the residual heat and will eventually reach 145 F degrees.
- The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops, which is why a meat thermometer always helps.
Notes
The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops, which is why a meat thermometer always helps.
