Step-by-step preparation
Step 1:
Prepare food. The meat should be at room temperature.
Step 2:
Rinse the meat with cool water and dry well. /It happens that the meat is clean, then just wipe it with a damp towel/. When bought in a large piece, cut into portions of about 1.5 - 2 cm. /The meat will be fried/. If there is fat on the pork portions, carefully cut it off with a sharp knife. If we cook steak, it should contain a minimum amount of fat.
Step 3:
Classic steaks are never pounded; if you just fry the meat, you can pound it slightly. I didn't fight back. Salt and pepper the meat to taste, rub in the seasonings with your hands on both sides. Leave for about 15 minutes. Do not put the meat in the refrigerator, it should be at room temperature - this will give you a golden brown crust. If you add chilled pulp, there will be no crust and the meat will stew.
Step 4:
Lubricate the meat with a silicone brush with refined vegetable oil, but very thinly, or use a special oil spray bottle. /Neck with a layer of lard, it will begin to drown/.
Step 5:
How to fry meat on a grill pan? Very simple! Place the grill pan on high heat on the stove. There should be intense heat coming from it. Drop a drop of water onto the surface - it instantly boils and evaporates, you can cook. DO NOT POUR oil, it is on the meat - that's enough. Place the meat and fry each side until golden brown / 3 minutes for medium-rare /medium/. You may need a load on top, it’s good if there is a lid - a press.
Step 6:
Wrap the finished meat in foil or place in a bowl with a tight lid. Let the meat rest for about 4 minutes so that all the juices are distributed and the meat remains juicy.
Step 7:
Serve the meat hot, with herbs, vegetables and any side dish or meat sauce. The meat turns out soft and juicy.
IMPORTANT: turn the meat no more than twice. The frying time depends on the desired doneness. Medium rare – 2 to 2.5 minutes on each side. Then the steaks rest for about five minutes. For medium or medium – three minutes on each side and rest for four minutes. Well done - 4.5 minutes on each side, rest the steak for a couple of minutes. Why let meat rest? The juices sealed under the crust should be distributed throughout the steak, it will remain juicy and soft.
Pork steak for the grill pan is taken from the neck-rib part without bones. Buy chilled meat; frozen meat will not taste as good. The slices of meat should be no thicker than three centimeters, but preferably about one and a half to two. The meat will be well cooked; pork should not be cooked with blood.
Check readiness with a sharp knife. The juice should not be bloody, just clear.
It is best to use a cast iron grill pan. It will maintain the temperature well, distributing it evenly over the surface. It’s great if the set includes a lid - a press, and the grooves are deep, so the design will be printed more clearly. The grill pan uses high heat.

Compound
for 6 serious servings
- Pork (pulp interspersed with fat) – 1.2-1.5 kg;
- Lemon – 1/3 pieces;
- Basil, allspice - a pinch;
- Vegetable oil for frying;
- Salt.
How to cook
- Cut: pork into portions (steaks) 1-5-2 cm thick. Beat, but without much effort, the pork is already tender. To prevent meat splatters from flying in all directions, cover the steaks with cling film or place the meat in a plastic bag.
- Marinate the meat: pour in lemon juice, sprinkle with spices. Leave to rest for 15-20 minutes (longer possible).
- Fry: heat the frying pan well, lightly pour oil and twirl the frying pan in your hands so that the oil spreads along the bottom. Place the chops in hot oil and fry over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side - this way the chops will be striped.
And if you want meat in a cage, then fry the steaks again (half a minute or a minute) on the cooked side, turning the chop the other way around (perpendicular to the previous layout - along the stripes of the pan or, conversely, across).

Cooking tips
What meat is best for chops?
The tastiest chops are made from pork interspersed with fat, because it melts and further permeates the meat, adding juiciness and tenderness to it.
If you have lean pork, it will also be tasty, but a little less juicy.
For delicious fried pork, not only the pulp is suitable, but also meat on the bone. Ask the butcher to immediately chop it the way you need it for frying the chops.
This is what a pork chop looks like - a piece of delicious fried meat!
When to salt chops
When frying meat, salt helps the juices release from the meat pieces. Our task is to preserve these juices. Therefore, to make fried meat more juicy, it is better to salt it when you turn the meat over to fry the second side. You will be salting the side of the chop that has already been seared and the resulting crust has already sealed the meat juices inside the pork chop.
In my opinion, you can’t imagine anything tastier than potatoes for fried meat!
The same rule applies to frying beef (as in the recipe for beef chops), chicken breast (recipe for frying juicy chicken breasts), lamb and other meats. And even fried potatoes.
How to replace lemon
Instead of lemon, you can take white wine (or if you have ground coriander and a little cinnamon, then red wine, and marinate as in the recipe for Spiced Pork in Red Wine).
As a last resort, you can use vinegar. But this is only as a last resort.
There should be enough meat, the pieces can be larger!
If you don’t have a frying pan, use a grill
What problems? A grill pan will be successfully replaced by an ordinary good and favorite frying pan (frying pan).
Everyone got different pieces, but equally delicious!
How to clean a grill pan after frying meat
If you have the same cast-iron frying pan with a fluted bottom, drain the remaining oil, rinse with hot water and a soft sponge (no detergents, they should be used as a last resort).
If there is still something left in the grooves of the bottom, then pour water into the frying pan and let it boil in the frying pan for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to wash.
Then the cast iron cookware must be wiped dry and greased with grease or vegetable oil. And if you store it under a lid, then between them you need to lay a paper towel, folded in 3 layers, so that air circulation prevents the pan from deteriorating.
Well, friends - we ate deliciously, washed the dishes, let's relax! )))))
A pork chop, or other meat, is a cutlet. Historically, the cutlet we are used to is, in its essence, not a cutlet. For us, a cutlet is a product made from meat, or less commonly, minced meat, fried on a grill or in breadcrumbs. Although, in fact, a pork chop is much closer to a cutlet, like a delicious steak and egg.
In European cuisines, a cutlet is usually called a thin piece of meat cut from a certain part of the carcass (rib, lumbar, shoulder) - a natural cutlet. Only the cooking methods are similar. Cutlet (French côtelette) - rib, ribbed. Those. a piece of meat with a bone or rib. And our native cutlets are closer to meatballs and croquettes. The fact that the meaning of the name is little comparable to the essence makes our cutlets no worse, depending on your taste.
The situation with the chop is even more confusing. We have adopted the term “chop cutlet”, or simply “chop”. This meat dish is closer to an escalope, or beef chop.
But in Europe, the most popular is “Milanese”, a unique dish of their veal, prepared using a special technology. In addition, there are many options for similar dishes, and culinary specialists argue until they are hoarse which dish was the first: Wiener schnitzel, Milanese cutlet, steak, etc. For example, in Italy, Wiener schnitzel is called scaloppina alla viennese, and Milanese cutlet cotoletta alla milanese . And if you look at it, the only difference is the presence of a rib bone in the Milanese version. Or like the difference between a chop and a beef steak.
Well, there are also common dishes with the general name “bitochki”. These are, as a rule, small cutlets made of minced meat; at first they were called chops. They come from French cuisine, where they are called “medallions”; at first they were made from boneless tenderloin and were round in shape. Now this dish has lost its original meaning and only minced meat products are called bits (bitki).
For us, inexperienced, not spoiled by gourmet cuisine, a cutlet is a cutlet. And a chop is a chop. A chop is a pounded and marinated piece of meat, fried on a grill or frying pan. With a minimum of side dishes.
Grilled pork chop - after carefully selecting and preparing the meat, fry it to your liking. As a side dish, we’ll take just a few plums pickled according to the Caucasian recipe.
By the way, a grilled pork chop is an excellent option for a good picnic.
How to cook pork chop
- For this dish, I recommend using a part of the pork carcass called the “loin.” This meat is located along the spine from the shoulder blade to the rump - the size of the palm and a piece of rib bone, and with a small amount of fat around the edge. The thickness of the meat cut across the grain is about 2-3 cm.
Loin pieces with bone
Salt the meat, sprinkle with coriander and pepper, add dry herbs
Pour marinade of wine and balsamic vinegar
Place the meat on the grill and fry
Fry until done - the chop should be well done
This is a fairly simple recipe, but tasty and nutritious. Let's cook pork chops in a frying pan. Decorate with herbs and garlic.
What will we treat our loved one with? I think it’s not at all difficult for us, dear ladies, to guess what to cook for your loved one – definitely MEAT!

Fried Pork Chops Dinner
This pork dinner is the winner of the day. Dinner can be prepared in less than an hour.
Ingredients:
- Pork – 4 slices
- Broth – 300 ml
- Potatoes, chopped – 4 pcs.
- Carrots, grated – 4 pcs.
- Onion, chopped – 1 pc.
- Salt
- Pepper
Preparation:
Remove fat from pork. Heat a frying pan with oil. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Fry the pork on each side for about 3-4 minutes.
Add broth, potatoes, carrots and onions to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the pork is slightly pink when cut near the bone. Sprinkle with parsley.
Description of preparation:
Pork on a grill pan is a super appetizing dish that is wildly popular in our home. Once you start using a grill pan, it becomes extremely difficult to give it up. We cook all our meat on it, especially when we miss the dacha and barbecue. It cooks quickly, looks appetizing, tasty and very royal:)
Novice cooks are faced with the problem of turning meat into “sole”, including when cooking over coals. The reasons are the neglect of the basic rules about choosing meat, defrosting, marinades, beating. Cooking a chop will be doomed to success if you follow a few tips.
Tip 1. Choose the right part of the carcass.
All parts of the pig have individual flavor profiles and are prepared, cut and processed differently. Grilled pork chops are prepared from boneless shoulder, loin, neck, tenderloin, and thigh. Their color should be light pink, but not brownish; a small layer of fat is one of the keys to the juiciness of the dish.

Tip 2: Defrost naturally
Any grilled chop recipe calls for fresh cuts, but the world isn't perfect. If you have a piece of tenderloin or shoulder stocked in your freezer, there's no point in skipping dinner. Defrost it slowly in the bottom compartment of the refrigerator and continue with the recipe. When defrosting in water or the microwave, the juiciness and taste will suffer.
Tip 3. Keep the thickness to 1.5 cm.
A grilled pork chop is fried very quickly - at high temperatures, the crust instantly sets, and all the juiciness remains inside. To prevent watery meat juice from filling the plate when cutting, or completely raw meat appearing, you should not exceed a thickness of 1.5 cm. But you don’t need to chop it too much either - the pieces will turn out dry and tough.
Tip 4: Dry the meat before frying.
Dry the piece with a paper towel before placing it on the grill, grill, or skillet. The dry surface quickly sets into a crust, which means the juices will be securely “sealed” and will not leak out ahead of time.
- beat gently;
- add salt only at the end, even if your recipe says otherwise, because salt draws out the juices;
- a good fresh piece can be sufficiently shaded with ground black pepper, but pork will also favorably accept the aromas of rosemary, thyme and garlic;
- Before grilling, pieces can and should be pre-marinated - in onions, wine, lemon juice (acids soften the fibers).
Pork chop recipe
The recipe is very simple - follow the proportions of the ingredients to get an excellent taste. Cooking takes 2.5 hours, of which frying time is 15-20 minutes.
For 2 pieces of 250-300g we will need:
- 1 large spoon of balsamic vinegar;
- 100ml white wine;
- 1 large spoon of olive oil.
Among the spices, freshly ground black pepper, coriander, and aromatic herbs are good options.
Pieces of meat cut across the grain with fat are sprinkled with ground coriander, pepper and herbs (oregano, savory, mint, basil). A mixture is prepared from white wine and vinegar, and the pork is placed in it for 2-3 hours. If the pieces are not covered with marinade, they need to be turned over from time to time. Next, just salt the meat, fry it on both sides, following the tips below, and serve hot to the table with a suitable side dish.

Useful tips about frying
To get a pork chop you can be proud of, it's important to avoid frying mistakes. Here are a few nuances:
- Before frying, coat the pork steak with vegetable oil, this will form a crust faster;
- Place the meat only on a well-heated grill or over hot coals - when it comes into contact with the heat, it instantly sets;
- fry the pieces for 7-8 minutes on each side;
- to get a beautiful pattern, do not move the meat until the frying is finished;
- to get a checkered pattern after half the frying time on one side, lift the meat, turn it 90 degrees and put it back on the grill on the same side;
- Do not turn the pork with a fork, it will damage the crust.
Grilled chops go well with fresh vegetables, herbs, and minimalist side dishes.

These chops are so light and very tender. BBQ classic.
Ingredients:
- Pork – 4 slices
- Salt - 1 teaspoon
- Thyme - 1 teaspoon
- Pepper
- Oil – 1 tbsp.
Preparation:
Coat pork chops with spices.
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet.
Place the chops in the pan so that they are not touching each other.
Cook each side slowly until nice and golden brown on each side.
This will take about 4 minutes on each side.
Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid.
Turn off the heat and let the chops sit for about 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops.
Option 5: Spicy pork steak on a grill pan
We will cook from pork loin on the bone. To make the steaks spicy, we use cumin, grain mustard, salt and pepper. Let's add a little spicy note with ground red pepper, but in small quantities.
Ingredients:
- five loin steaks;
- half a teaspoon of cumin;
- tsp mustard seeds;
- sixty ml sunflower oil;
- half a teaspoon red pepper;
- salt and hammer allspice to taste.
Step by step recipe
Take black allspice and cumin and grind into powder in a mortar or grind. Combine with mustard seeds and ground red pepper. Add salt to the same mixture, preferably coarse salt.
Rinse the pork loins, dry them and rub with the prepared spicy mixture. Rub in with your hands on all sides and place on a cutting board.
Leave for fifteen minutes.
Once the time is up, brush the pork loin steaks on the bone with sunflower oil. It is most convenient to use a silicone culinary brush.
Place the grill pan on high heat and heat thoroughly. There is no longer any need to pour oil, it is on the meat - that’s enough.
Place two or three servings and fry for four minutes on each side, alternating twice. The total cooking time for each serving is fifteen minutes.
Serve the T-bone steaks hot with any side dish.
Note: if there is fat on the pork portions, carefully cut it off with a sharp knife. If we cook a steak, it should contain a minimum amount of fat.
