Pork Chops in Beer recipe

While beer makes a good base for most stewed meats, it makes pork taste divine. Succulent braised onions and pork chops become slightly sweet and ever-so-soft from a simple beer broth, making this dish one to remember.

Ingredients:

4 large pork chops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (12-ounce) can beer
½ cup sliced onions

Directions:

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add chops and brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes total.

Add beer and onions and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until chops are no longer pink and sauce is reduced, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve.

I tried the fried pork chops and I added some fresh mushrooms. It came out great. So tender.

I just finished making and it was awesome. Usually my chops are dry but not these.

Omg! Best recipient ever for someone who always dries out pork chops! I carmelized the onions in the olive oil, then browned pork chops over them for 10 minutes, then poured a can of coors lite on top and simmered for 30 minutes. Melt in your mouth goodness! Thank you.

Tried this last night. I used Shiner Bock and sliced pork tenderloin. I added some cayenne pepper and it was excellent. Served it over rice with some seasoned spinach and there was nothing left for a lunch today! Excellent and will be making it again.

Was great cooked with lime slices and jalapeño peppers! Used Montreal steal seasoning and my boys loved it.

Super Easy!
I used 5 small pork chops,
grapeseed oil, salt and pepper,
a whole onion, and
2 cans of Dos Equis XX beer.
I kept the lid off the whole time and let it boil down until was actually a glaze. DELICIOUS!
I figured with all ingredients,
each 3 oz pork chop: 400 calories
baked potato with sour cream and bacon bits: 260 calories
green salad with balsamic dressing: 100 calories
Awesome dinner,
a total of 760 calories
