Stovetop Boneless Pork Chops- What You Should Know

While it’s exciting to know you can quickly round up a fantastic serving of thin boneless pork chops, be sure to keep these suggestions in mind;

Don’t Overdo the Seasoning-Thin boneless pork chops have enough fat in them to infuse a flavorful effect in the meat. So, you won’t need to go all out with the seasoning, as a mix of pepper and salt will give it the expected exquisite taste. But you’re free to combine other seasoning and spic options- don’t use too much.

Still, you may wish to add more complexity to the flavor of the pork chops. If so, you may consider options like paprika, black pepper, rosemary, cumin, and coriander. Other suggestions include marjoram and caraway as well as powdered garlic, ginger, or onion.

Use Fairly High Heat-The thinness of these boneless pork chops make them cook fast on the stove. As such, only sear the meat over reasonably high heat to not rush the cooking. If the heat is too high, the surface will burn faster than the insides will cook.

Cooking Thin Stovetop Boneless Pork Chops

For a quick summary of how to cook these thin boneless pork chops on the stove, take a look at these steps;

Prepare the Boneless Pork Chops

Whether the pork chops are fresh or brought out of the fridge, be sure to dry them with paper towels to soak out any excess moisture. Wet pork chops won’t brown properly on the hot pan or skillet.

Season the Boneless Pork Chops

Once the pork chops are dried, sprinkle your desired seasoning mix on the meat and rub it into every part of the surface.

Prepare the Pan or Skillet

Set the skillet or pan over medium-high heat and let it get hot. Then add any oil with a high smoke point to the pan and leave it to heat. A good option for this purpose is grapeseed oil.

Once the oil is shimmering hot, carefully place the thin boneless pork chops on the pan or skillet. You’ll hear a sizzle as the meat touches the pan. Let it cook for about three minutes, then flip and cook the other side simultaneously. You must cook the boneless pork chops to an internal temperature of 145F. So, be sure to check for this with a meat thermometer.

Rest the Boneless Pork Chops

When the pork chops are done, set down and let them sit on a plate for three to five minutes. This way, the juice will be reabsorbed by the meat, giving it a juicy texture. Then serve the thin boneless pork chops with any side dish you wish.
