Succulent pork chops in beer sauce with crunchy bacon bits and onion...
Ingredients
- 2 fresh pork chops
- 2,5 oz salted bacon (70 g)
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 tbsp plain flour or cornstarch
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup Belgian strong ale (tripel) (240 ml)
- 1 tbsp strong mustard
- pepper
- salt
Instructions
-
Slice the bacon into strips. Season the pork chops with a pinch of pepper and salt on both sides.
-
Place the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat until foaming. Then add the seasoned pork chops.
-
Quickly sear the chops for 3 minutes on both sides until brown.
-
Transfer them onto a clean plate and cover with tinfoil. Put them aside until needed later. Then add the diced bacon to the same pan you browned the pork in. Don't discard those lovely juices!
-
Stir fry the bacon for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion.
-
Cook for 4 minutes more. Pour in the brown beer and stir well.
-
Season with a little pepper and salt to taste. Cook the onion and bacon for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour or cornstarch and also add the mustard to the beer sauce.
-
Stir and cook for 1 minute. Then transfer the browned chops you put aside back to the pan.
-
Put a lid on the pan and simmer the chops for 4 to 5 minutes until warmed through. The beer sauce should have thickened a bit. Check the seasoning and add extra pepper, salt or mustard if necessary. Put the pork chops onto warm plates and drizzle with the beer sauce. Serve.
