Equipment

  • large frying pan (large enough to hold 4 pork chops at once)

Ingredients

  • 4 bone in pork chops preferably shoulder cut
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp Montreal steak spice
  • 1 tbsp dry oregano
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 1/2 lemon

Instructions

  • Season both sides of your pork chops with the salt, Montreal steak spice, and dry oregano. Set aside for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  • Pour enough vegetable oil in your frying pan so that there is 1/4 inch of oil in the frying pan. Heat pan over medium high heat.
  • Add the pork chops to your pan (there is no need to wait until your oil is hot) and then pour in the red wine.
  • Cook, uncovered for 5 - 10 minutes and then turn your pork chops over and cook for an additional 5 - 10 minutes.
  • When ready, transfer the pork chops to a serving platter and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over them. Allow to rest for approximately 3 - 5 minutes.
  • Serve with sides such as vegetables and rice and enjoy!

Notes

The cooking time in the recipe is given as a range for two reasons.  First, the thickness of pork chops will vary, and will impact cooking time.   As well, some people prefer to have their pork medium rare, while others prefer for it to be well done.  You can always check one of your pork chops by cutting into it to see if it is as done as you prefer.
