Here’s a simple and flavorful recipe for beef chops:Ingredients:
- 4 beef chops (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 cup beef broth or water
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the beef chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the beef chops to the skillet. Sear the chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
- Remove the seared beef chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, sliced onion, and bell pepper if using. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened and aromatic.
- Stir in the dried thyme and rosemary, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour the beef broth or water and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
- Return the beef chops to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetable mixture.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the beef chops reach your desired level of doneness. The internal temperature should read 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the beef chops rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish the beef chops with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
