Subj : Back To School Dinner 07 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Sat Aug 30 2025 06:25:54 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Baked Pork Chops Categories: Poultry, Herbs, Chilies Yield: 4 servings 2 ts Kosher salt 2 ts Brown sugar 2 ts Paprika 1 ts Garlic powder 1 ts Ground mustard 1/4 ts Black pepper 4 (6 oz ea) boneless pork - chops; 3/4"-1" thick 1 tb Vegetable oil, plus more if - needed 1 tb Butter (optional) Chopped fresh parsley; to - serve, (opt) In a medium bowl, combine salt, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, ground mustard and pepper. Mix with fingers, breaking up any clumps, until blended. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels then place in the bowl. Rub all over with the spice mixture, turning a few times to make sure the chops are evenly coated. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. (Alternatively, transfer pork to a large resealable plastic bag, if needed for fridge space.) About 30 minutes before cooking, remove pork from the fridge to take off the chill. Set oven @ 400oF/205oC. Heat a large (12") cast-iron or oven-safe skillet over high heat. When hot, add the oil. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook until browned on the first side, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute, adding more oil or butter if the pan is dry, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the pork reaches 140 degrees, 4 to 6 minutes. Using an oven mitt, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chops and any pan juices to a platter or individual plates to rest for 5 minutes; the temperature will increase to 145 degrees. Garnish with parsley, if using, and serve immediately. By: Melissa Knific Yield: 4 servings RECIPE FROM: https://cooking.nytimes.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
