Ingredients

 1/3 cup reduced-sodium or regular soy sauce
 Lemon juice1/4 Cup (16 tbs)
 Beef broth1/4 Cup (16 tbs)
 Tomato Paste2 Tablespoon
 Brown sugar1 Tablespoon
 Lemon zest2 Teaspoon, grated
 Ground ginger1 Teaspoon
 Pepper1/4 Teaspoon
 4 lean center-cut pork chops (1/2 inch thick, about 1 1/4 pounds total)
 Scallions1 Bunch (100gm)
 Vegetable oil2 Tablespoon
 Cornstarch1/4 Cup (16 tbs)

Directions

1 In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, beef broth, tomato paste, brown sugar, lemon zest (if using), ginger and pepper.
2 Place the chops in a shallow container that will hold them in one layer. Pour the lemon-soy sauce over the chops and let them marinate.
3 Coarsely chop the scallions. In a large skillet, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the Scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are just limp, about
3 minutes. Remove the scallions to a plate and set aside.
4 Remove the pork chops from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Dredge the pork chops in the cornstarch. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and cook the pork chops over medium-high heat until golden, about 3 minutes per side.
5 Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and bring to a boil, turning the chops once. Simmer the pork chops until cooked through, about 8 minutes longer. Stir in the scallions and serve hot.
