You'll need your butcher's help with this, but just ask, they'll be happy to do it for you!! This is VERY tender and OH SO GOOD because it's made from "cubed" pork chops rather than cubed steak or even tenderized round steak like most recipes use! I've never had good luck with cube steak! No matter what I did it was always tough, from medium rare to well done, it just never came out good and I gave up on it, ...til Tom told me his mom used to use pork instead! What a difference!!! You'll be shocked, too, at how Large they get when they "cube" them!! They're amazing! I've even made them for catering once, and they about died over them! They were a HUGE hit!! Hope you try it this way, you'll never go back! LOL!

    This turned out great. The pork was moist and tender and the flavor was perfect. I sprinkled the pork with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder before coating them in flour mixture, other than that no changes made. I fried the tenderized chops in peanut oil and butter and the cracker mixture came out great. After they were done cooking I kept them warm in a 200 degree oven while I finished cooking my mashed potatoes and gravy. This is a new family favorite. Thank you very much!!!!

    What a great idea having the pork chops "cubed." I had great success...the chops were tender, juicy and tasty! They also browned nicely. The only question I have is: In your recipe you call for 3 T. butter, or more. Where do you use it? I just used it in the mashed potatoes, but I'd appreciate some clarification. Thanks for a wonderful technique to prepare tender pork chops.
