How to make Pork Chops with Beer
- Step 1
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, ground chili pepper, oregano, and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Step 2
Place the pork chops in the marinade and let them sit for about 30 minutes.
- Step 3
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and coat them lightly with flour.
- Step 4
Heat olive oil in a skillet and fry the pork chops until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Step 5
In the same skillet, sauté the onion and the red bell pepper (or chili pepper), both sliced into thin rings. Add the pork chops back to the skillet and pour in the beer.
- Step 6
Cook over low heat until the liquid reduces.
- Step 7
Remove the pork chops. If you'd like to make a sauce, strain the cooking liquid and transfer it to a saucepan. Heat over low heat until it thickens slightly.
