Pork chops with a glossy apple cider glaze is really easy, and while there's no starch or extra butter involved, it reduces quickly to a thick, rich, sweet-tart apple syrup. Ingredients:
6 (6 ounce) boneless center-cut pork chops |
salt and ground black pepper to taste |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon butter |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar |
2 cups apple cider |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1 teaspoon minced rosemary |
1 pinch red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. Season pork chops with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat oil and butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops in the hot oil mixture until browned on both sides and pork is slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove pan from the heat; transfer pork chops to a plate.
3. Stir garlic into the pan and place over medium-high heat; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Pour in vinegar and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add apple cider and Dijon mustard, bring mixture to a boil, and cook until sauce is reduced and thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rosemary and red pepper flakes; season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Return pork chops to the pan to warm slightly, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
