San Francisco Style Pork Chops

San Francisco Style Pork Chops - A HUGE hit with the family!!!

4 pork chops
black pepper
garlic powder
1 tsp oil (I use vegetable oil)

SAUCE
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tsps oil (I use vegetable oil)
4 TBSP dry sherry - Use a good sherry - I use the San Antonio winery brand
4 TBSP soy sauce
2 TBSP water

Mix sauce ingredients together and set aside. Season pork chops with pepper and garlic powder. Saute in hot oil until brown on both sides. Pour sauce over chops. Cover tightly and simmer of low heat until chops are tender and cooked through, about 30-35 minutes. Add a little water, 1 TBSP at a time, if needed, to keep the sauce from cooking down too much. Turn once, about halfway through the cooking time. This sauce is SO good over mashed potatoes!!
