Honey Pecan Pork Monday, Jan 25 2010 

After the holidays were over, I wanted to try several new recipes including this one.  Let me say, I have an incredible sweet tooth and I love pork so I figured this recipe would be right up my alley.  Not to mention I’m all for fine dining and this turned out to be quite the fine dining experience at home. 

The pork was extremely moist!  Don’t let the sweetness factor deter you from making this, as it is only lightly sweetened from the sauce.  I can’t for the life of me remember what I served it with, but I’m pretty certain it was some sort of roasted veggies.

Ingredients
2 thick, bonless pork chops
1/2 cup flour
2 tbs butter
EVOO
salt
pepper
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Directions
Mix together flour, salt & pepper.  Dredge pork chops in flour mixture. In large skillet, heat 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil over medium high heat.  Brown chops on both sides.  Reduce heat and cook chops through. Remove chops from skillet and keep warm.  Drain any remaining olive oil from pan.  Melt butter in remaining dripping.  Add honey and pecans.  Heat through, stirring constantly.  Pour over chops and serve.

Almost BBQ Pork Tuesday, Oct 13 2009 

INGREDIENTS
2 pork shoulder (Boston butt) steaks
1 large onion, sliced
2 cups ketchup
2 cups water
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste

DIRECTIONS
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Season the pork steaks on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place in the skillet and cook until browned on each side, about 4 minutes per side.

Stir together the ketchup and water in your slow cooker; place the steaks in the mixture; top with sliced onions. Cook on low 6-8 hours.

NOTE
Allrecipes.com provides a stovetop cooking method that is faster, but the crockpot method makes for tender meat that can easily be shredded into pulled pork.
