We beat off accurately, not turning pork into rags, but only softening the upper layer of fibers. Pepper and salt to taste and leave in this form for about three minutes. In the meantime, put the pan on the burner and pour oil into it. We give the oil properly to heat up and quickly put the meat. Attention! We lay pieces of meat so that there is free space between them. Fry the chops on each side for 5 minutes on high heat. Serve hot, with any side dish.
