As someone who mostly eats vegetarian during the week, leaving the weekends to unleash the carnivore in me, there are times during the week when I just crave a piece of meat. That happened last week so I headed to the supermarket and picked up a couple of pork chops.
Chops and steaks are quick-cooking cuts of meat, and they are ideal for the stovetop or grill. Generally cut thinly, they come bone-in or boneless. The bone-in chops and steaks take a couple minutes or longer to cook than their boneless counterparts. While I got my chops because I was hankering for a piece of meat, chops (and steaks) are great when entertaining (generally) especially on short notice.
A wet marinade or dry rub can be used to season the meat, but with good quality meat, a basic seasoning of salt and freshly ground or cracked black pepper is all you need to bring out the flavour.
