Ingredients
- 6 pork loin rib chops center cut, bone-in, about ½-inch thick
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup calamansi juice
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- canola oil
Instructions
- Rinse the pork chops and pat dry. Season with pepper to taste.
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, calamansi juice, and garlic.
- Add pork chops, massaging marinade onto meat. Cover with film (or transfer into a resealable bag) and marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- In a pan over medium-high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking.
- Drain pork chops well, discarding marinade.
- Add to hot oil in a single layer and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until nicely seared. Turn to the other side and continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until nicely seared and a thermometer in the center reads 145 F.
- Remove from pan and let rest for about 2 to 3 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- If the chops have a thick band of fat around them, make small slits on the fat to keep them from curling or buckling during cooking.
- Do not swap lemon or lime juice for the calamansi! Although these citrus fruits are used interchangeably in some recipes, such as bistek, the distinct flavor of these pork chops does depend on the calamansi's sweet and tangy taste. If you haven't ready access to this tropical fruit and must substitute, use a mix of freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice.
- Do not marinate the pork chops for too long, as the acids in the marinade might break down the protein fibers, affecting the texture of the meat.
- Marinate in a plastic or glass container, not a metal container, as the acids might interact with the metal.
- Cook on medium-high heat and do not overcrowd the pan during frying so the meat will sear nicely and not cook in their steam.
