Step 1. Brine the Pork Chops
In a container, create a simple brine by dissolving salt and a little sugar in water. Submerge the thick-cut pork chops in the brine and let them sit for at least 30 minutes. This is the key to a juicy result.
💡 Tip: Even a short brine makes a huge difference in the moisture and flavor of the final dish. [2, 10]
Step 2. Dry and Season
Remove the pork chops from the brine and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Moisture is the enemy of a good sear. Season generously on all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
💡 Tip: A very dry surface is essential for creating that perfect golden-brown crust in the pan. [13]
Step 3. Sear the Fat Cap and Sides
Place the pork chop fat-cap-down in a hot, oiled pan. Render the fat for 2-3 minutes until it's golden and crispy. Then, sear each side of the pork chop for 3-4 minutes until deeply golden brown.
💡 Tip: Don't move the chop around too much while searing. Let it sit to develop a deep, even crust. [4, 6]
Step 4. Butter Baste with Aromatics
Reduce the heat and add a generous amount of butter, smashed garlic cloves, and fresh thyme sprigs to the pan. Tilt the pan and use a spoon to continuously baste the pork chops with the foaming, aromatic butter for a couple of minutes.
💡 Tip: Basting not only adds immense flavor but also helps to cook the pork chop gently and evenly. [17, 18]
Step 5. Rest and Slice
Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of around 145°F (63°C). Transfer the pork chop to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
💡 Tip: Resting is non-negotiable! It allows the juices to settle back into the meat, keeping it incredibly moist. [19]
💡 Tips and Tricks for Gecko Out Level 14
Use thick-cut, bone-in pork chops for the best results, as they are less likely to dry out.
A cast-iron skillet is ideal for searing as it retains heat very well, creating a superior crust. [8]
Don't add the butter at the beginning, as the high searing temperature will cause it to burn. Add it near the end for flavor. [6]
Spoon the leftover butter and aromatics from the pan over the sliced pork chop when serving.
Gecko Out Level 14 Common Mistakes:
Skipping the brining step, resulting in a dry pork chop. [2]
Not drying the pork chop properly before searing, which leads to steaming instead of browning.
Overcooking the pork chop. Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure it's perfectly cooked. [19]
Slicing the meat immediately after taking it out of the pan, causing all the delicious juices to run out onto the cutting board.
