Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork loin chops
- 1 large Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Beer (lager or dark beer preferred)
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, chopped onion, garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, caraway seeds, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well to form the marinade.
Place the pork loin chops in the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the chops and marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and sear them in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary.
Once all chops are seared, add the remaining marinade to the skillet along with the beer and chicken or vegetable stock. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast the pork chops for 45-50 minutes, basting them with the pan juices halfway through cooking.
Remove the skillet from the oven and rest the pork chops for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve the Schweinebraten pork loin chops with roasted potatoes, sauerkraut, or your favorite seasonal vegetables. Spoon the flavorful pan sauce on top for extra flavor.
