Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Soak the chops in brine or inject with hot-pepper liquid 1 to 24 hours before cooking. (To inject chops, fill the syringe with liquid, insert about 2 inches into the side of each chop and inject.)

  2. Step 2

    Remove the chops from the brine and dry with paper towels.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chops and sear until browned, about 1 minute per side. Reduce the heat to medium and add water to a depth of about ¼ inch. Cover the pan and cook 7 minutes, adjusting the heat so the water simmers steadily, adding water as needed.

  4. Step 4

    Turn the chops and cook until they reach an internal temperature of 145 to160 degrees, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the pan, cover and let stand 5 minutes.
