Pork Chop Rhapsody

[roseembolism]

So the other day we bought a bottle of inexpensive Chilean wine that turned out to be utterly wretched. So I decided to save it and use it in a recipe sometime. Tonight I bought a couple pounds of pork shoulder, and decided to make my mom's old recipe for wine braised pork chops. The recipe works as so:

2 pounds of pork: chops, pork shoulder cut into steaks, etc.
Ginger
granulated garlic or garlic powder
Pepper
Teriyaki sauce

Salt
about 1 cup red wine (cheap)
one medium onion

Dust both sides of the pork steaks with ginger and garlic. Sprinkle with pepper and rub in seasonings. Drench with teriyaki sauce.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in pan over medium high heat. Just when oil begins to smoke, place pork steaks in pan. Sear pork steaks on both sides for about a minute on each side until brown.

Turn heat down to medium. Pour wine in pan and cover.
Slice onion into rings, and stir into wine sauce. Cover pan again.
Cook for 5-10 minutes or until cooked through, turning once.

Serve with huge salad, and potatoes. The wine sauce is fantastic on either the pork or potatoes.
