Drunken Pork Chops

By bklynmommy

Ingredients

• 5-6 pork chops- bone-in or boneless, your choice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 onion
• 1 bottle of dark beer (the darker the beer, the more flavorful the sauce. I use Shiner Bock)

Preparation

Step 1

Put a little bit of extra virgin olive oil in the bottom of a skillet. Season the chops with salt and pepper and brown both sides. While pork chops are browning, combine beer, ketchup, and brown sugar in a bowl. Pour sauce mixture and sliced onion over the pork chops and simmer for 40-45 minutes. Remove pork chops and thicken the sauce a bit. In a small cup, combine 1 TBSP of cornstarch in 1/4 of water. Stir to combine and add to boiling sauce, whisk so no lumps form. Put pork chops back in the thickened sauce, flip to coat. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.
