Citrus-glazed Pork Chops
- 1 whole Orange
- 3 whole Limes
- 2 whole Thick Cut Pork Chops
- Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1.
- Halve the orange and limes; squeeze the juice over the pork chops in a dish.
- Season each side of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Cover and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Longer wont hurt, and if you need to cook the chops sooner, thats fine too.
- 2.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high.
- Once the pan is hot, add the chops.
- Sear them until golden-brown on each side, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Cook for around 10 minutes, flipping occasionally, then add the orange-lime marinade.
- Continue to cook the chops, turning in the glaze, until they reach 150 degrees F on a meat thermometer.
- Let the chops rest for 5 to 10 minutes before eating so they reach the correct temperature.
- (This ensures that they are completely cooked without being overdone and dry.)
- The citrus juice should be thick and you can dip the pork chops in it again if you desire.
- Enjoy!
- * Note: If you are skittish about reusing a marinade, you can always juice a fresh orange & three fresh limes to use as your glaze.
- * We usually serve these with either fresh sauteed green beans, or pan-roasted asparagus, and mushroom risotto.
- Enjoy!
