The Perfect Pork Chop Sandwich
Cuisine:
American
Servings: Serves 6
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Six boneless pork chops, 1/2 inch thick
- One yellow onion, thinly sliced and rings separated
- One stick of butter (5 oz.)
- 6 fresh hamburger buns, split
- 6 tablespoons applesauce, or as required
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Preparation
- 30 minutes before cooking, place the herbs and spices in a mixing bowl to combine, then sprinkle liberally over each pork chop. Place the seasoned pork in the fridge until required.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet at medium-high temperature. Add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes, until they become translucent. Place the onions in a bowl and cover, then set aside. Retain as much butter as possible in the pan.
- Using the remaining butter in the skillet, sear the pork chops on each side then cook for 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Add another 2-3 tablespoons of butter if necessary while cooking. Once ready, sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper.
- While the pork chops are cooking, toast the hamburger buns to your liking, and add butter as required.
- Remove the pork chops from the heat and place onto the hamburger buns. Add an even amount of buttered onions to each sandwich, then top with a generous tablespoon of applesauce.
- Serve the pork chop sandwich immediately with french fries or chips.
