    My husband and i like this recipe


    Ingredients

    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
    1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut crosswise into 1-inch-thick medallions
    2 teaspoons canola oil
    1/4 cup apple cider
    1 tablespoon maple syrup
    1 teaspoon cider vinegar


    Preparation

    Mix chili powder, salt and ground chipotle in a small bowl. Sprinkle over both sides of pork.

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add cider, syrup and vinegar to the pan. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, turning the pork occasionally to coat, until the sauce is reduced to a thick glaze, 1 to 3 minutes. Serve the pork drizzled with the glaze.

    I marinade mine in teriyaki sauce and a little honey, then oven cook in foil with the remaining marinade.

    I love to just grill with a little lemon pepper.

    I marinate mine in 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, and pineapple juice (drained from a small can). Grill chops and serve with grilled pineapple rings.

    Grilled, baked, sauted, stewed, whatever. As long as the fat has been trimmed and you don't add a lot of salt or sugar, it's all healthy.

    Doesn't the soup mix add an exorbitant amount of sodium? Or does Lipton make a low sodium soup mix?

    Don't need a recipe. Meat is healthiest when cooked using dry heat without all the sodium, sugar and other junk found in soups and marinades. Simply season them and grill, bake, or broil. Serve with spicy brown mustard if desired.

    Brush the pork chop with Dijon Mustard then coat in Panko Crumbs and bake.

    The one like is brown your chops in a pan with some sliced onion and red peppers. Put them in a baking dish or you can leave them on the stove top. Pur one can diet dr pepper and1 cup catsup on the chops. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until tender. Take off the lip and turn up the heat a little and cook another 15 minutes until the sauce reduces. Really yummy. You can use this on either pork or chicken.

    Cook it like a steak! Especially if it's a thicker cut.

    I put a "Steak and Burger" salt on each side. I've tried other rubs for chicken/BBQ to mix it up.

    Preheat oven to 500 degrees

    In a hot, oven safe skillet (cast iron), spray with Pam, heat on high until starts to smoke.
    Sear each side for 2-3 minutes.
    Flip to 1st side and place in oven for 3-5 minutes (depending on thickness)
    Flip to 2nd side and cook for 3-5 minutes.

    Check with thermometer. (I do this because this veggie once served him nearly raw chicken....:blushing: )

    For a steak, shorten oven time to achieve rare/med rare cooking.
