Pan-Fried Pork Chops without Flour
Ingredients
- 14 oz 4 bone-in pork chops (recommended to get juicy steaks, however, you can use boneless pork chops as well)
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme or another spice (optional)
- some olive oil (about 2 tbsp)
- some butter at room temperature (about 50 g/17.5 oz)
Instructions
- season the meat as desired, then rub to get the flavors inside the meat (you can also marinate the chops in advance).
- flip the meat slices and do the same thing.
- heat up a grill pan and pour some olive oil.
- rub the meat with some butter on one side.
- place the meat slices with the buttered face down into the pan.
- fry the pork chops at a very high temperature for about 3-4 minutes (depending on how well fried you like your steak and the meat thickness), use a lid to avoid oil sprinkling.
- slightly butter/oil the upper sides, then flip the pork chops and fry them for another 3-4 minutes.
- remove the fried pork chops from the pan and rest them for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Cooking Tips for the Best Results
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick will be easier to cook without flour, as they are less likely to dry out or become overcooked.
- Use a well-seasoned skillet if you don’t have a grill pan: A well-seasoned cast iron or stainless steel skillet will provide a non-stick surface that will prevent the pork chops from sticking to the pan.
- Allow the pork chops to come to room temperature: Letting the pork chops sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before frying will help them cook more evenly and avoid overcooking.
- Test the oil temperature: It is important to have the oil at the right temperature before adding the pork chops to the pan. Too hot and the pork chops will burn, too cold and they will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Let the pork chops rest: Once the pork chops are cooked, it is important to let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
