how to make tender boneless chops?

Answer 1

I find that boneless chops do tend to dry out. Try this:

Get your pan screaming hot and add a little oil. Season your chops w/salt and pepper and sear on both sides. Once you've done that, remove the chops. De-glaze the pan with a little apple juice or apple cider vinegar. Add a tart cooking apple, some shallots, and the chops. Cover and finish in a 350 degree oven until done, about 5-7 minutes for medium.

Answer 2

If you can grill them, there is a cookout calculator at charcoalbob.com that works well for keeping boneless pork chops tender and juicy. Just enter the thickness and the desired doneness and it will give you instructions for how to grill the pork chops.

Also, many recipes recommend that you allow the pork chops to stand at room temperature from 20-30 minutes before cooking, and allow them to rest for 5 minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.

We also like to put a little of our favorite barbecue sauce in a small dish and use it as a dipping sauce like you do with shrimp sauce.

I saw this recipe on Martha Stewart and had to give it a try. They're delicious and tender while maintaining their flavor. Here's the recipe:

Braised Pork Chops

2 Tb canola oil
6 six ounce boneless pork chops, trimmed of any fat
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 Tb red-wine vinegar
2 Tb light-brown sugar
1 Tb Worcestershire
1 tsp garlic salt

1. Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat. Brown pork chops on all sides, 2-3 minutes per side.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together mustard, vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire, garlic salt , and 1/3 cup water. Pour over pork chops. Reduce heat, to low, cover, and cook until tender, about 1 hour
3. Transfer pork to a service platter. Raise heat to medium-high and cook sauce until thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over pork chops, and serve immediately

Answer 5

cook some onion, garlic & celery in your frying pan then remove them from the pan & set aside. coat your chops with a mixture of flour ,salt,pepper & some finely crushed basil then fry them til golden in the same pan you cooked the veg in. remove the chops from the pan a drain all but a few tablespoons of oil.remove pan from heat & dump a can of sliced mushrooms (including the liquid) in the pan. add 2 cups or so of cold water then sprinkle in some of the flour you used to coat the chops & whisk . put the pan back on the heat, add the fried veggies & bring to a boil, constantly whisking. Let it boil for a minute or so to cook the flour. If you have enough room in the pan, put your chops in the gravy & let simmer for 45 minutes or so. if you don't have room, put them in a roasting pan, pour the gravy over them, & put it in the oven for 45 minutes @ 350.

Answer 6

Have you tried a meat tenderizer? It looks like a mallet, usually made of wood or metal, that has little teat on the face. Another option is to score the surface of the meat or prick it repeatedly with a fork.

Basically, anything that will break or tear the strands of meat, Or anything that shorten the length on the grain in the meat, for eample, try cutting the thinner, perpendicular to the grain of the meat.

Answer 7

The best thing to do if you want 'em tender (no matter how you cook them) is to marinate for at least a couple hours -- preferably overnight in the fridge -- in something acidic.

The marinade could have fruit juice, wine or vinegar in it to provide the acid, along with garlic, herbs, spices, a bit of oil... whatever you like (or whatever happens to kicking around in your fridge :-)
