  • Hello Internet, virtual cooking friends. I am Hilah. Today I am going to show you a foolproof

  • and delicious way of making pork chops in the skillet. Pork chops are my husband's favorite

  • kind of meat to eat, and I am pretty sure they are up there with America's favorite

  • too, unless you are Muslim or Jewish, but at any rate, let's make some pork chops!

  • Okay, so I've got some boneless pork chops and some spices and I am going to do a spice

  • rub, and remember if you want the detailed instructions and the ingredient list, go to

  • the website HilahCooking.com. It's all on there, along with some, you know, really fascinating

  • write-ups from myself about how much I love food and stuff. It's really good. Okay, so

  • my little spice rub. I got some mustard seeds, some dried thyme, some black pepper. I am

  • going to grind this all together. Okay, now I've got this ground up, I am going to add

  • some salt and some paprika. Give it a little whirl around the bowl. Okay, now on to my meat stuffs. These are really thick.

  • They are a little more than an inch thick, so I am going to go ahead and butterfly them

  • to make them thinner, they'll cook faster, they'll cook more evenly, and they're also

  • at room temperature which is pretty important when you're cooking meat is that it just cooks

  • more evenly, you don't end up with all like raw in the middle because it's cold.

  • Okay, this is how you butterfly something. Okay, so you can see with these like one side

  • has kind of a line of fat on it. I am going to cut from that side just get it about in

  • the middle, hold it still, and slice across, don't cut all the way through. This is the

  • butterfly part of it. Then you end up with a thing like that. You can kind of flatten

  • it out, and now we have one bigger pork chop made out of our smaller pork chop. Ta da!

  • And it's like a little butterfly look. Fly away little butterfly, fly away. [laughs]

  • That's enough touching raw meat. Actually it's not, I am about to touch it some more.

  • I am going to turn on my skillet so that's getting hot while I put my, c'mon oven, while

  • I put my rub on. Now this here makes enough for four pork chops, so I'll just use not

  • all of it, how's that? Just kind of sprinkle it on there, get it evenly coated, and kind

  • of pat it in.

  • Getting pork juice all over the place. It's like a salmonella free-for-all in here. Okay,

  • now I am going to flip them and do the other side. Okay, my pan is real hot. I am going

  • to put in about a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of oil. Hopefully I can get it

  • in there before my butter burns. Yeah, get that all around. That's sizzling hot! Okay,

  • now I am going to put my little pork chop then. Get in there you pork chops. Okay, now

  • these are going to. Owww! These are going to take maybe three minutes on the first side,

  • and then I'll flip them and oww! And I might turn the heat down. It's popping at me. It's

  • just going to leave that alone over there, it's in over here. It's been a couple of minutes.

  • I turned my heat down to medium and I am going to flip these puppies, and I got the one side,

  • it's all nice and brown and good looking, but I don't want them to cook too fast, so

  • I turned it down and the other side will cook a little longer. C'mon you little, there you

  • go. Yum! Okay, a few more minutes. Okay, it's

  • been about six minutes total, and I believe my little pork chop babies are done. So, I

  • am going to check them with a little knife, and see how it looks in there. Looks only

  • very slightly, slightly pink in the very middle, but everything else is white and done looking.

  • So I am going to pull this one out. Now I will take a bite of my pork chop and prove

  • to you how yummy it is by the look on my face of pure joy when I eat it. Mmmmmm! Mmmmmmm!

  • Delicious and tender pork chops. Mmmmmmm! Mmmmmmmm! Mmmmmmmm! Hold on. Mmmmmmm! Mmmmmmm!

  • Okay, now don't forget to check out the website for the full recipe and all that stuff at

  • HilahCooking.com, and tell your friends about the show and I will see you next time. Bye!
