Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Pork     Quick & Easy     Capers     Garlic     Pork Chop     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (1"-thick) bone-in pork rib chops (look for the most marbled ones you can find, preferably with some fat cap too)
Kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp. sugar, divided
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 large shallot, chopped
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 sprigs rosemary
1 Tbsp. drained capers
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Season pork chops with salt and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 tsp. sugar. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook chops, undisturbed, until well browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook just until second side is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer chops to a plate (they won't be fully cooked); reduce heat to medium.
  • Pour remaining 1 Tbsp. oil into same skillet and add shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until softened and just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add vinegar and remaining 1 tsp. sugar to skillet. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until vinegar is nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Add rosemary, capers, and 1/2 cup water to skillet; season with salt. Reduce heat as needed to maintain a very low simmer. Add butter and swirl pan continuously (and vigorously) until sauce becomes smooth, glossy, and emulsified.
  • Return pork chops to skillet, arranging darker side up. Simmer gently in sauce, swirling occasionally, until chops are cooked through, about 3 minutes (a thermometer inserted near the bones should register 135°F).
  • Transfer pork chops to plates and spoon sauce over.

Tips:

  • Season the pork chops generously with a blend of spices and herbs to enhance their taste.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan to achieve a beautiful sear and even cooking.
  • Sear the pork chops over medium-high heat to create a crispy outer layer while preserving their juiciness.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the pork chops until they reach your desired doneness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to accurately check the internal temperature of the pork chops to ensure they are cooked safely.
  • Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving to redistribute their juices and enhance their flavor.
  • Serve the pork chops with a variety of sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
