Meat Preparation: Let’s start preparing Pork Chop Steak Vepřová Kotleta by preparing the meat. 1.1. Make sure that the meat is properly rinsed under cold water and that the unwanted parts are removed. 1.2. Do not pound the meat – it will be prepared whole; just place it on a plate. 1.3. Pour and sprinkle these ingredients on both sides of each steak (each steak side should have about 1/8 of the ingredients shown; adjust if needed): 1.3.1. Squeeze lemon. 1.3.2. Pour Extra Virgin Olive Oil. 1.3.3. Grate garlic directly on the steak and spread it with your fingers or a silicone brush. 1.3.4. Generously salt and pepper (especially be very generous with salt – it will help develop the right flavor). 1.4. Cover with a plastic wrap and marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator with the last 30 – 60 minutes at room temperature). 2. Pan Sear With Finishing In The Oven: 2.1. Set oven to preheat at 350°F. 2.2. Preheat a fry pan on high heat with 2 TBSP of frying oil. 2.3. Briefly sear to reach a nice sear (about 1 – 2 minutes on each side + fat layer on pork chops if this applies). 2.4. Add 2 slices of butter on each steak and pour the liquid from the marinade over. 2.5 Finish by placing into a preheated oven until the meat is fully cooked (about 6 – 9 minutes). * 2.6. In the middle of finishing in the oven, turn the meat and pour the juices from the pan over. 3. Resting and Serving of Pork Chop Steak Vepřová Kotleta: 3.1. Let the meat rest on a cutting board for about 2 minutes before serving. Note: During this time, the meat will slightly decrease in temperature and nicely lock most of the juices inside – this is part of the process of making the meat moist and tender. 3.2. Optionally, slice each steak for serving (based on your personal preferences). 3.3. Place on a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper and optionally place herb butter on each steak. Then pour a pan juices over. 3.4. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, or a small salad. * Check with a food thermometer to make sure that you have reached the desired temperature, optionally slightly extend the cooking time as you wish. * Check with a food thermometer to make sure that you have reached the minimum recommended safe serving temperature for pork and veal of 145°F.
