I'm a Maryland resident. A self-avowed WordPress Whisperer, I use it in all my projects. I take lovely photos, go to the gym a lot, and opine strongly over design, aesthetics, and politics. I'm a heavy Twitter user, a moderate Flickr participant and in my spare time I help people at the SemperFi WP Support forums. Read more about me.
And don’t accuse me of being lazy. I have sifted through the recipes on Food TV and have gotten little help for my inch-thick pork chops. Now, dear friends, I have to ask y’all. I want my pork chops seared and then finished off in the oven, but I don’t know with what to marinate them, nor a sauce with which to serve them.
Any help please? My only request is that I don’t get a recipe that involves smothering the pork in flavors alien to it. No fruit jam glazes, or the like, please.

One of my favorite ways to make pork chops is to marinate them in Kikkoman Garlic Teryaki with a touch of liquid smoke, a healthy teaspoon of fresh black pepper, and a small can of crushed pineapple (juice removed)
Just place the whole thing in a large freezer bag and let marinate an hour or so. It’s helpful to let them marinate on the kitchen counter so they come to room temperature – a must for thicker chops. This allows the internal temperature to come up without burning the hell out of the outside.
Alternatively – if you want something a bit less sweet, use chopped dried chiles instead of the pineapple.
If you’re into cajun, you can marinate them in a touch of vinegar and citrus zest – then smother them in blackened seasoning and fry in butter. You won’t believe how well citrus and spice go together.
Your best bet is to make a couple different marinades and see what you like.
