Best Pork Chop

Best pork chops I ever made, was by mistake maybe 30 year ago. Breaded in flour and seasonings. Just fried them in a skillet.

Wife asked what I did different, before I tasted mine. I said nothing, just cooked like normal. Then I tasted mine...yummy! So I did some back tracking to figure out why they were so much better.

Ended up that we went shopping that day. I made a mistake and topped off the flour container with sugar! Now I will do them no other way.
About 60% flour and 40% sugar, plus seasonings as desired. Caramelization is wonderful and tastes great!
 
That does look really good.

I like to sear them a bit, then layer them in a baking pan with sliced apples, with some brown sugar and butter. Cover tightly with foil and throw it in the oven. So good.
 
Nothing beats a great grilled Rib Chop

Definitely over cooked, but surely tasty. He should have pulled them 30-60 seconds sooner - especially because the second cook in the sauce. I agree on the hot oil basting in a cast iron pan.

THE most most important things - cooking correctly and good pork. Seems like low cost supermarket pork is pre-seized and tough from the get go. See if there is a specialty pork farm in your area, compare the meat - you will definitely see and taste what I am talking about.
 
That looks delicious. The few times I’ve done pork chops they are a bit dry or tough. I need to find some thicker ones like he used.

Smoked pork steaks are a St. Louis thing and are delicious. I’m pretty sure they are just cut from the shoulder, 1-1.5” thick. Dry rub and smoke low and slow til tender. Then sauce and throw on the grill for a few minutes. Serve over a slice of white bread. Fantastic!
