pork essentials: rosemary pork chops with potatoes
When I create a lot of my recipes, I start on the stovetop, and then finish them in the oven. Over the years it's been a technique I have employed at many restaurants that I have worked at. An oven can give you an all-around heat that just can’t be realized on a grill or gas range. So, in a very real way, you get the best of both worlds. This is an extremely easy recipe to put together, and it’s possible that you already have the ingredients sitting in your fridge and pantry. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make pork essentials: rosemary pork chops with potatoes
-
Step 1PREP/PREPARE
-
Step 2THE MARINADE & PORK CHOP
-
Step 3Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
-
Step 4Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.
-
Step 5Place the pork chop in a sealable plastic bag, and then pour in the marinade.
-
Step 6Massage the bag to coat the pork chop, and then place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
-
Step 7After the two hours have passed, place a rack in the bottom position, and preheat the oven to 450f (235c).
-
Step 8THE VEGGIES
-
Step 9Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
-
Step 10Place the veggies in a bowl.
-
Step 11Toss with the grapeseed oil, season with some cayenne, salt and pepper, and then reserve.
-
Step 12THE COOKING
-
Step 13Place an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, and then add the grapeseed oil.
-
Step 14Add the pork chop, and allow to cook, undisturbed for about 4 minutes.
-
Step 15Flip the pork chop, and then add the veggies.
-
Step 16Cook for an additional 4 minutes, occasionally tossing the veggies.
-
Step 17Chef’s Note: The pork should be a nice golden brown on both sides.
-
Step 18Place in the preheated oven, and bake until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 140f (60c), about 15 – 18 minutes.
-
Step 19Remove from the oven, and check the potatoes. If they are not tender, remove the pork chop and keep warm, then place the skillet back into the oven, until the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork. Remove from the oven, and return the pork chop to the pan.
-
Step 20Chef’s Tip: In this case size, does matter. If your potatoes are too big, they won’t cook along with the pork chop, so choose small potatoes.
