2. Cooking Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine orange juice, soy sauce, garlic and thyme in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet, preferably cast-iron, over high heat. Add the pork chops and sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake the chops until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chops to a plate and keep warm.
- Add the reserved orange juice mixture to the pan (take care, the handle will still be hot); cook over high heat until the sauce is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Return the chops to the skillet; heat through, turning to coat. Serve with the pan sauce.
Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
This dish uses a very traditional French technique: you first brown meat in a skillet, then roast it in the oven. Make sure you use cookware that's oven-safe, preferably cast iron or stainless steel.

Bake for 5 minutes?
Nitzer - January 23, 2008 08:44:56 AM PSTYour Step 3 says "Transfer the pan to the oven and bake the chops until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chops to a plate and keep warm."
Is that truly how long to bake in the oven??

Tasty w/ added ginger
wendylu - December 2, 2007 10:55:44 AM PSTGreat and easy - substituted fresh, minced ginger for thyme and also doubled the sauce and was happy to have done so, as it is good and not as much after reduction. today redid it with sauteed tofu and veg. Nummy.

Kids loved it!
k_haverson - January 25, 2008 11:34:07 AM PSTI made this two nights ago. I have a 10 yr old and a 2 yr old at home. They are both kinda picky eaters and they loved it. I agree with the other review on this....definately make more sauce than what it calls for. It doesn't go as far as it looks when you're measuring it out. I served it with white rice and a green salad. Yummy!
