Ingredients
- 4 Smithfield All Natural Fresh Boneless Pork Chops
- Generous 1 tsp of five spice powder
- salt and pepper
- Oil to drizzle
- 4 peaches sliced into wedges
- 3 garlic cloves chopped
- 2 tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- Generous pinch of salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp unflavored oil
Salad
- romaine lettuce
- red bell pepper sliced
- slivered almonds
- lemon juice
- salt
Instructions
- Heat a cast iron pan (or nonstick pan) to medium high heat and drizzle it with the oil.
- Next, drizzle some oil on both sides of each pork chop and evenly sprinkle with salt and pepper and the five spice powder.
- Rub the spices into the pork chops well and set aside.
- Place the peaches in a bowl and add the garlic, salt, cayenne pepper, sugar and pepper and toss to combine.
- When the pan is heated, place the boneless pork chops in it (they should sizzle! If not, the pan is not hot enough and you should increase the heat).
- Cook the pork chops, 2 - 3 minutes per side, until the surface is seared, caramelized and the internal temperature reads 165°F on a meat thermometer.
- Remove the pork chops from the pan and cover them and let them rest.
- Place the peaches in the same pan (on medium high heat) and pan fry the peaches for about 6 minutes, flipping them over once after the 3 minute mark.
- Once the peaches have caramelized and slightly softened, transfer them to a plate, place the cooked pork chops on top.
- Serve with a simple side salad of Romaine lettuce, bell pepper and slivered almonds. Squeeze some lemon juice or a salad dressing of your choice on top just before serving.
