Pleasant Pork Chops
Ok so this recipe was so delicious. I literally sat on here for 3 hours reading reviews because pork tends to turn out so dry or so tough. I was concerned because the author didn't mention how big the chops were that he used. I read through over 100 reviews and still felt unsure so after googling pork options I figured out what I would do. I buy my pork chops from costco and they are huge! So I took each one and pounded them down to about 3/4"-1". Then I seasoned them on both sides with Montreal Steak Seasoning. I had sauteed portobello mushrooms beforehand with minced garlic and onion powder (the bf can't stand onion texture). Set stove to almost high, dropped some butter in and seared on each side about 4-5 minutes. I added 1 1/2 cups broth and 1/2 cup white zin (out of white cooking wine). 3 bay leaves as other suggested and some crushed rosemary. If you put the stove on its lowest setting and have a tight fitting lid it's supposed to keep the pork super moist and tender....45 minutes later i checked them and they were done! Boiled the liquid & mushroom mixture down to half and turned off stove. Added 16 oz of light sour cream and 4 tsp paprika. My boyfriend and his fraternity brothers ate every bite. I served them with mashed potatoes and sugar snap peas. I had left overs today and they were even better than last night. The steak seasoning had really absorbed into the meat, making it taste just like a juicy steak! I made 6 pork chops and double the sauce which was perfect
