Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (10 ounce) pork chops, frenched
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 sprig fresh rosemary, torn into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Put pork chops on a plate; drizzle with oil; season generously with salt and pepper; let sit for 30 minutes.

  • Slather the pork chops with the sweet and sour sauce during the last few minutes of cooking to caramelize the sauce and give it a glossy finish.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
