Make

Preheat the oven to 425F (218C).
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then sear pork chops for 2 to 3 minutes per side over high heat until they are browned and crisp.
Place pork chops into the oven and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until pork is firm to the the touch (or cooked to at least 145F or 62C degrees).
Remove pork chops from the pan and allow to rest for five minutes before slicing.
While the pork chops are resting pour off excess fat from the pan and add black beans, stir and allow to heat through in the pork juices.
Let people serve themselves the desired amount of pork, slaw, and beans. Enjoy!
