PAN SEARED PORKCHOPS
Thick Cut Pork chops
2 Cups Flour or Bisquick
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
Lowrys Season Salt
3 Tbl Spoons of Oil
Large Zip lock bag
Pan
Deep Baking Dish
Aluminum Foil
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. Place a pan onto the stove and set to high, pour 3 tbl spoons of Oil into the pan. Put the flour,Parmesan Cheese, Lowrys Season Salt, and pepper into a zip lock bag. After mixing the seasoning and flour, place the pork chops into the bag. Seal and shake vigorously until they are completely coated. Allow a good 5 minutes for the pan to get very hot, the oil will become more liquidity, & thin out covering most if not all of the pan. Open the zip lock bag and grab the now covered pork chops shake them within the bag to get rid of excess flour you want it lightly dusted. Place the pork chops into the pan and do not move or touch them in anyway. You should hear a lot of high sizzling when it hits the pan, if not the pan wasn't hot enough. Allow the pork chops to sear for 2 minutes before taking a pair of tongs and flipping it over. The cooked side of the chop should feel crusty, where as the top uncooked portion will feel soft, you should be able to feel the difference though the tongs. Sear the pork chop for 1 minute now on the uncooked side, it takes less because the pan has already transferred heat through the meat so the other side should cook quicker. When finished both sides should have a nice golden to darkish brown crust. Move the pork chops into a deep baking pan, that has aluminum foil on the bottom of it. If you have seared the pork chops in a cast iron pan, you can just transfer that straight into the oven. Place the pork chops into the oven and let cook for roughly 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees. Remove the chops and cut out a slice that reaches the center of the chop, make sure no pink is visible it should be whiteish in color. If you have a meat thermometer you can check the internal temperature which should be 160 degrees.
That's it, I serve mine with some nice steamed broccoli and cheesy scalloped potatoes
