Pork Chops with Soy-Orange Sauce
The Martha Stewart Cookbook: Collected Recipes for Every Day
by Martha Stewart, 1995, Clarkson Potter/Publishers
Makes 4 servings
3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 sprigs of fresh thyme
8 lean (1/2-inch-thick) loin pork chops
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoon safflower oil
Combine the orange juice with the soy sauce, sugar, garlic, pepper,
and thyme sprigs. Set aside.
With a very sharp knife, score the pork chops 1/8 inch deep in a
crisscross pattern on each side. Place in a glass or stainless steel dish in a single
layer. Pour the marinade over chops and let sit at least 30 minutes. Drain and reserve the
marinade.
Heat the butter and oil in a large, heavy skillet until hot. Pat
the chops dry and sauté them over high heat for 3 minutes on each side, browning them
well.
Reduce heat to low and pour reserved marinade over chops. Cook
until done, about 8 to 10 minutes longer. Remove chops to a heated platter.
Reduce the marinade in the skillet to 1/3 cup. Pour over the cooked
chops and serve immediately.
Note: These pork chops are also excellent grilled over hot
coals. Reduce the marinade separately in a saucepan and pour over the chops after removing
from grill.
