Easiest Recipe on the Planet / Fried Pork Chops

Heat up a cast iron skillet.  Has to be cast iron or equivalent or it really won't work.

 

Drop thinly sliced pork chops into a tablespoon of oil and flip it after a few minutes.  Maybe a little pepper but no flour or anything, that's it

 

Crank that cast iron skillet on high so get the chops get brown and crusty.  I like them thin but if they are thick, then chunk the whole pan in the oven on medium 350 or so for ten minutes.

 

The oils are a huge point of discussion but probably need a high temp oil.... canola, peanut but I use regular olive oil for everything and it works.  Not the extra virgin olive oil which burns quicker, just the regular yellow olive oil.

 

 

 

Oh, and try not to move or play with the pork chop.  If you mess with it, it won't sear properly and get that brown little crust.
