Coriander Pepper Pork Chops

Coriander Pepper Pork Chops

I thought of this after I added a fried pork chop recipe using fish sauce as the base. I made this (at least a similar recipe) Coriander Pepper Pork Chops some 25 or so years ago. This is a mild marinade and gives the pork chops a nice flavor without over powering the taste of the pork.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pork chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander, OR 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds crushed
  • olive oil, as needed

Instructions
 

  • Mix together the garlic, brown sugar, soy saucer, pepper, and coriander in a small bowl. Using a sturdy fork or a needle tenderizer, poke holes all over in the meat part of the chop and place them in a baking dish in one layer. Pour the marinade over the top of the chops and flip them to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes to overnight, flipping the chops occasionally.
  • Remove the chops from the baking dish and discard the marinade.
  • Heat a large non stick pan to medium high heat with a splash of olive oil, once heated, place the chops in (cooking in batches).
  • Fry for 4-5 minutes each side, the juices should run clear to indicate cooked through. Remove from the pan and cover with foil, let rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to soak back into the chops.
  • Serve the chops with a baked potato and salad or sides of your choice.

Notes

For the pork, all I can price this with for now is pork loin. Pork loin is about 118 Baht/kilo, going with that in order to cut thick steaks from, for 4 servings, this is about 87 cents per serving.

    I made these on 31 Aug 2018 and they are exactly how I remember them. I marinated the chops overnight and they turned out great. Certainly do not miss the tenderizing step, not really to tenderize but to get holes in the chops so they can soak up the soy sauce. These will be a regular now.
