SHARE THIS RECIPE
Back in the days of the Wild West, when cowboys and frontiersmen prepared each and every meal over open coals, food was simple and hearty. Perhaps one of the most intriguing aspects of cowboy cuisine is the history in which it is embedded – myths and legends of famed fur trappers, outrageous outlaws and heroes alike, paint a colorful picture of what life might have been like on the western frontier. We pay homage to our grilling forefathers with this recipe for Frontier-Style Pork Chops.
Ingredients:
• 4 pork chops, 1 inch thick or thicker
• 2 apples, sliced (about 1/4 inch think)
• 2 cups apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup flour
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
PREPARATION:
• Combine the flour, salt, pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium size bowl.
• Coat pork chops in the dry mixture. Reserve leftover mixture to use later.
• Fill the grill with
Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal and light the charcoal.
• Once coals are ashed over, place pork chops on the hot grill and brown, about 4 to 6 minutes each side.
• When the pork chops are browned, move them to a preheated cast iron skillet over medium heat.
• Add the remaining dry mixture and apple cider vinegar to the skillet to cover the pork chops. Top with sliced apples.
• Allow to simmer on low heat until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Serve pork chops with gravy and enjoy!
