How To Make ~ tender fried chops ~
-
Step 1Season chops evenly on both sides and let set for about 30 minutes.
-
Step 2Using a cast iron skillet works best for these chops. Place pan on burner over medium heat. Add the oil. Once oil shimmers, add chops to the pan, do not over crowd.
-
Step 3Cook slowly on one side about 5 minutes, lower heat some if browning too quickly as cast iron cooks much faster than other skillets. After about 4 - 5 minutes, flip chops to other side. Cook another 4 - 5 minutes.
-
Step 4Place lid over skillet and remove from heat. Leave set for 10 minutes for 1/2 inch chops and a little longer for 1 inch. Remove chops and de glaze pan with 1/2 cup red wine and add 1 tablespoon of butter to make a sauce.
-
Step 5Plate chops and pour sauce over. Enjoy!
