Thick Cut Pork Chop

[43034]

Afternoon PH,

I have one of those to cook for dinner today; https://www.donaldrussell.com/thick-cut-pork-chop-... and was wondering how you'd cook one?

I have an oven, a stove top and a microwave Sadly no BBQ which is a school boy error!

Over to you...

Many thanks.

Pan on the stove until really hot.
Season chops
With tongs hold
The chops in pan, and render some of the white fat.
Seal both sides of chops until a nice golden colour.
Remove from heat, add some hard herbs, Rosemary,thyme, bay ect, few unpeeled cloves of garlic, 2 apples cut in half, big knob of butter
Place in a hot oven, cooked until the core temp of the pork is over 65. 20ish mins?, maybe baste a couple of time whilst cooking.
Once cooked, remove chops from pan and allow to rest somewhere warm for ten mins.
Remove skin and core from cooked apple, bash up
For a ghetto apple sauce.
Place rested chop on plate with a large scoop of apple sauce.
BINGO.

We have done this a couple of times and it works out great.

Rick Stein's latest series featured breadcrumbed deep fried pork chops with braised peas, very lovely.

Sounds pretty good to me.

A lot depends on the oven temp (I'd go 160), you may want to give the apples etc a head start in the oven as the pork will cook quicker than you think. I'd also go a little under 65, maybe 60 at most then rest. Crispy fat and outer, medium-well centre.

Another time. Try brining first as well.

Thanks for the replies.

JockintheBox i've gone for your method, minus the apples! Will let you know how it turns out, just about to get it out to rest now.

Yes, they're not cheap but everything else i've had from there has been top notch.

Good luck, post up a pic if you can.

I only managed to get one after plating it up. It was tasty but I have to be honest, I slightly overcooked it Will keep to the same recipe next time but cook for less!

Homemade chips were good!

Looks good.

Lean pork has a very small window before going overcooked. As you can now safely I tend to go for slightly under and let it rest a while. I would also say a decent thermometer is a lifesaver

All that trouble for a pork chop, and then you added frozen peas and carrots?

The mind boggles

Grill. Salt the fat/rind and put it under the grill. Turn often.

1. How thick is it?
2. Does it have any fat on the outside with rind ?
3, How do you want it to taste?

The last is probably the most important.

then we can advise.

you paid that for DANISH pork chops why?

Do you have a local butchers or even a Morrisons?

Donald's having a laugh. Scotlands priciest butcher might be more apt

No, I recieved a voucher and decided to buy things I wouldn't normally, hence the ask for cooking tips.

Have a very good local butcher, the voucher wasn't valid there....
