Exact Ingredients List (+ Possible Substitutes)
I’ve got the perfect list of pork chop ingredients for you. You’ll need 4 bone-in pork chops, each weighing about 7-8 ounces. Bone-in chops pack more flavor, but you can use boneless if that’s what you have. For the potato ingredients, grab 1.6 pounds of baby potatoes.
Now, let’s talk about the seasoning mix. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Worcestershire sauce
- Ketchup
- Soy sauce
- Brown sugar
- Olive oil
- Minced garlic
- Apple cider vinegar
Don’t worry if you’re missing some items. I’ve got you covered with pantry staples that work great as substitutes. No ketchup? Use tomato sauce instead. Only have light soy sauce? That works too. And if you’re out of apple cider vinegar, any clear vinegar will do the trick.
Remember, cooking is all about making it work with what you’ve got. So don’t stress if you need to swap out an ingredient or two. The end result will still be delicious!
Instructions
Let’s make delicious pork chops and potatoes together. I’ll show you how to bake and broil them for perfect results.
First, heat your oven to 430°F. While it warms up, mix your potatoes with oil, salt, and pepper. Put them on a tray and bake for 15 minutes.
Next, get ready the pork chops. Mix your rub in a bowl. Coat the pork chops well with this mix. After 15 minutes, add the pork to the tray with the potatoes and bake for another 15 minutes.
Now, it’s time for the broiler! Turn your oven to broil on high. Flip the pork chops and add more rub. Broil for 7-10 minutes until they’re nicely browned.
For the last step, brush the pork with juices and broil for 2 more minutes. This makes them extra tasty and looks great.
This recipe takes about 40 minutes to finish. Remember, cooking times can change based on your pork chops and oven. Make sure your pork is safe to eat before you serve it.
“The key to perfect pork chops is in the broiling technique. It creates a delicious caramelized crust while keeping the meat juicy inside.”
Follow these steps, and you’ll have a great meal ready fast. Enjoy your tasty pork chops and crispy potatoes!
Tips, Tricks & Storing
I love using an instant-read thermometer to get the perfect doneness for pork chops. Aim for 145°F internal temperature for juicy results. If you’re working with thicker chops, just bump up the cooking time a bit. Want to amp up the flavor? Try marinating the pork for up to 24 hours before cooking.
Let’s talk food safety and leftovers storage. Pop any extras in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for 3-5 days. If you’re not planning to eat them soon, freeze them for up to 3 months. When it’s time to enjoy your leftovers, I’ve got some reheating methods for you.
For the best taste, reheat your pork chops in the oven at 400°F. Cover them with foil and warm them up for 5-10 minutes. If you’re in a rush, the microwave works too. Just be careful not to overcook when reheating. Nobody likes dry pork! These cooking techniques will help you serve up delicious pork chops every time.
