Pork Chops with sage
I feel kind of silly making this post because this isn't really a "recipe" but more a reason to show how truly easy it is to make great tasting pork chops. And, it's a very quick meal to fix.
This will work with any pork chops, but the ones I have here are boneless pork sirloin chops. I usually buy the bone-in, but these were on a BOGO sale.
Pork chops
1 tsp. sage
Butter or oil for pan
Salt & pepper to taste
Place a little butter and/or veg oil in your skillet and turn onto medium or medium-low. I cook on a gas range and medium can run a little too hot so I usually cook over medium-low.
Place your pork chops in the skillet and sprinkle a little sage and your salt & pepper over them. It will only take 4-5 minutes per side for the chops to be done. You want to make sure that when you poke them with a fork or knife that your juice doesn't have any pink in it. The juice must be clear in order for the chops to be considered done. When you turn them over the first time, be sure to sprinkle more sage, salt & pepper on them. If you don't like sage, leave it off. Salt & pepper by themselves are great too. (Although, this amount of sage is not overpowering at all.)
When your chops are done, if you are going to make gravy, remove the chops to a plate covered with foil and make your gravy in the same skillet. You'll get some good flavoring in your gravy from what is left in the pan.
