Ginger-Sesame Pork Chops

Ginger-Sesame Pork Chops

by Pam on February 5, 2014

I had some thin cut pork chops and found a recipe on  Fine Cooking[1] that sounded delicious. I let the meat marinate for 1 hour then patted the chops dry before cooking them in my hot pan. They took only minutes to make and were so flavorful! I loved the ginger and orange combined with the soy and sesame. We all thought the meat was tender and tasty. I served these pork chops with a vegetable stir fry and some ginger-garlic rice (recipes to follow) for a healthy meal that’s way better than take out!

Combine the lime juice, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, orange juice, rice vinegar, vegetable oil, brown sugar, and orange zest together in a large zip lock bag. Mix until well combined. Add the pork chops to the bag and seal then shake to coat the chops evenly. Place into the refrigerator for 40 minutes then remove from refrigerator for the remaining 20 minutes.

Heat a large pan that has been coated in cooking spray over medium high heat. While the pan is heating up, place a couple of paper towels on a large plate. Remove the pork from the marinade and place on the paper towel covered plate. Pat the meat dry with another paper towel then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Place into the hot grill pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip the meat and cook for another minute to two minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from the grill pan and let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy.

Shaved Asparagus Salad with Fried Pastrami and Mustard Dressing – Keeping it Raw

This shaved asparagus salad actually started out as an asparagus wrapped with pastrami recipe, but when that didn’t work out, my wife Michele saved the day, and convinced me to go raw – and I do mean convince.


I really dislike under-cooked asparagus, and in virtually every video I’ve used it, I’ve pleaded with the audience to make sure the spears get to the sweet and tender stage. I’ve always felt that the main reason most people who don’t like asparagus, is that they grew up eating it crunchy, barely warm, and bitter.

However, when you shave it thin with a peeler, and give it a quick curing/pickling in the dressing, those harsh attributes mellow out substantially, and the sweet, grassy flavor comes through. In fact, it was so delicious that I contemplated serving it without the fried meat.  Happily, that passed.

Thanks to the pastrami’s aromatic spices, subtle smokiness, and peppery finish, it was a perfect match. Of course, you can substitute with bacon or ham; but the cured beef brisket was a nice change of pace to those much more common, pork-based choices.


Just be sure to not dress your raw asparagus until you’re ready to eat. The couple minutes it takes to fry the meat is all the marination time you’ll need. Anyway, peak asparagus season is almost upon us, and if you’re looking for a new way to enjoy it, I hope you give this shaved asparagus salad a try soon. Enjoy!


Ingredients for 4 portions:
24 large asparagus spears (save bottoms for soup)
salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste
4 oz pastrami, sliced thin
For the dressing:
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar (or regular rice vinegar with a pinch of salt and sugar)
3-4 tbsp olive oil, or to taste

Gordon Ramsay’s Mutton Stew

Gordon Ramsay made this stew for his viewers on Season One of the F Word[1]. It looks delicious and he took samples of the stew streets of England. Everyone who sampled the stew was very impressed, and several people even asked if they could have the rest of it!

According to Gordon Ramsay, Mutton is half the cost of lamb, and twice the flavor. It is also tougher, so the key to a great tasting mutton stew is in the cook time. Get this on the stove well before you start getting hungry, and you’ll have what looks to be a delicious and affordable stew ready for supper.

Gordon blazes through this recipe on the show, and doesn’t give exact measurements for anything, so bear with me as I do the best I can to break it down. Keep in mind, this is a stew, don’t finely slice anything. Cut everything into decent sized chunks, and feel free to increase or decrease any of the ingredient’s proportions to fit your taste.

Ingredients:

  • Around 1 1/2 lbs. Mutton (chopped into 1-1.5 inch cubes)
  • 1 Head of Garlic (skin on, cut in half)
  • 1 Large Onion (chopped)
  • 3 Large Carrots (chopped)
  • 5 Stalks of Celery (chopped)
  • Leek (I don’t know how much he used so I’m going to say… to taste)
  • 1 Large Sprig Rosemary (whole)
  • 3-4 Sprigs of Thyme (whole)
  • Flour
  • Salt
  • Small Handful of Peppercorn (lightly crushed)
  • Very Large Spoonful of Tomato Puree (or paste)
  • House Red Wine (he says half a something, but I could make it out even after playing it back five times. It looks like he uses about half a bottle, but it’s probably more like half a cup)
  • Cooking oil
  • Water

Directions:

Heat some cooking oil in a large skillet while you’re preparing your mutton. Lightly season mutton with salt, then coat it with flour, shaking off excess. Add to the hot oil and brown it thoroughly. Gordon lights the pan on fire a few times, but I wasn’t able to see how he went about doing it. Just make sure your mutton has good color. Color changes the meat and adds flavor. Once your meat is browned, place it into a colander to drain, and get to work on your stew base.

Chop all of your vegetables into large chunks. Add the onion to a very large stock pot over medium heat and stir in carrots. Cut a head of garlic in half so it looks like the picture on the right, and add it to the stew. Add celery, leeks, and your beautiful sprigs of fresh herbs. Take a small handful of peppercorns and lightly crush them on the counter with any large object you have. The bottom of a storage container, or a rolling pin will work just fine; add them to the stew. Spoon in your tomato base, and add the wine. Return your mutton to the pan, and stir it into the stew. Pour boiling hot water over the top of the stew until it completely covers all of the ingredients. You want your stew to look like a soup at this point, with a little extra liquid.

Bring everything to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid, and stew over low heat for 2 1/2 hours. Now you can watch a movie, go shopping, or whatever you enjoy for 2 1/2 hours. Come back after the stew has finished cooking and enjoy another F Word[2] favorite from Gordon Ramsay.
