This recipe is one of my go-to recipes. In addition to being extremely simple, it tastes fantastic and is fancy enough to serve at a dinner party. I recommend making a bed of brown butter mashed potatoes, placing the pork chops on top and then drizzling the orange sauce over everything.
MONTREAL STEAK SEASONING
If you’ve never heard of Montreal steak seasoning you are not alone. But rest assured, most spice companies including McCormick make a premixed version that you can purchase in your local grocery chain. It is made from garlic, coriander, black pepper, cayenne pepper flakes, dill seed, and salt and is meant to be used as a dry rub on barbecue. When meat is seasoned with it, it tastes similar to pastrami. And, who doesn’t love pastrami!?!
DOUBLE THE SAUCE
The sauce for this dish is really spectacular. I recommend doubling it, so that you have plenty of extra. Seriously, it tastes great over potatoes and other veggies, and you’ll want enough left over to sop up with your dinner roll. Yum!
