Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 pieces shallots, finely chopped
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add chicken broth, rosemary, and thyme, and stir to combine. Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them.
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (62.8°C).
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this into the sauce to thicken it slightly, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the pork chops topped with the red wine sauce, and enjoy!
