Sesame Pork Chops

We seem to be eating a lot of pork lately.  This version was okay- less liquid in cooking- and I think it would glaze perfectly.Tamari – or soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, sesame oil, brown sugar, and raw sesame seeds.   I mixed everything together (except the raw seeds), and marinated the pork in it for about 1 hour.  (note: I didn’t measure anything except the sugar – about 1/2 cup loosely packed.)I toasted the seeds in a non-stick skillet on medium-high for 5-7 minutes.  img_1104img_1105Place the pork chops in a oven proof pan (I added some of the marinade), and bake for 20-25 minutes.  Sprinkle with seeds, and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes.These were juicy, and nicely flavored, just not really glazed.  Will adjust the sugar (more), and reduce amount in pan for browning.

Blessings.

Pork Tenderloin

jachancellor1 Comment

Publix had a BOGO (buy one get one) of pork tenderloin the other day.  Love BOGO buys.


Anyway, decided to do a crock pot pork loin wrapped in bacon, garlic and brown sugar.

1 pork loin

1/2 package of center cut bacon

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 Tablespoons of garlic

Salt & Pepper

Pat the pork loin dry.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  

Cover (smear) with garlic and brown sugar over top.  Wrap bacon (or you could lay it across) around the loin careful not to take off any of the garlic or brown sugar.



Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours in your crock pot.  Do not add water, as you want the bacon to crisp. 

So it was cooking well in the crock pot but not getting the bacon crispy. So I placed the Pork into a baking dish and placed in the oven at 350 degrees. 


Rest for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the juices back into the loin.  


Slice in 2-3 inch pieces, and serve warm.


It was good in flavor, although dry due to having to go from the crock pot to the oven. In the future, I would cook this in the oven, covered at first. Then to brown, uncovered for about 30 minutes. 

Blessings.
