This Brown Sauce Pork Chops is a mainstay at our house. It is one of those dishes that I grew up with and in my perspective, has been around forever. Mom made this dish quite often as my brothers and I enjoyed it very much.

A Family Favorite – Then and Now

I guess one never outgrow certain dishes and this is certainly one of them. I continue to cook it to this day for Ro-Ri San and the boys. It is always a favorite at our house.

Back in the old days, we seldom use a dedicated meat pounder. Mom uses the back of her knife to “tenderize” meats. I do that too and you will see me pounding away with the back of my santoku in the video. So much easier using just the knife. One less thing to wash during cleanup.

Minor Changes to Mom’s Original Brown Sauce Pork Chops

Mom used mainly soy sauce and dark soy sauce to cook her pork chops. I think Worcestershire sauce goes particularly well with pork and so I added some to my version of this dish. It is good either way.
