There are many options and ways to season pork chops, depending on how they are prepared.
Marinating is a process that gives the meat tenderness and is done for flavoring. Marinades can be dry or liquid. When marinating pork with a dry marinade the products are applied in a mixture of spices and when marinating them in liquid marinades, different sauces are used, such as ketchup, mustard, soy sauce, etc.
Many chefs often use a technique that combines different types of alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, rum, etc. with the spices and this way different types of meat are marinated.
It is best that each marinade contains acid, thanks to which the meat becomes tender, although steaks marinated in wine will become tougher than those marinated in beer.
In order to season pork chops well, you need to mix the spices of your choice in a bowl and then soak the steaks in them. It is best to keep the dry marinades in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 hours so that the spices can soak into the meat.
Steaks left in the marinade become more tender and those in liquid marinade, become juicier.
For proper marinating, it is necessary to clean the steaks from the skins and make incisions on both sides of the meat, so that it can absorb the spices well.
