Pork Chops With Easy Pan Sauce
An easy, creamy pan sauce elevates these perfectly cooked pork chops.
Ingredients
- 2 thick pork chops, bone-in, thick,1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, I use high-heat safflower
For the Pan Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons shallots, chopped
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the pork chops with paper towels to dry and season all over with salt and pepper.
- Heat the vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the pork chops. Sear the chops for 4 minutes on one side.
- Flip the chops over and transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Roast the chops for 6 to 7 minutes or until they register 145°F on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop.
- Remove the chops from the oven and transfer to a platter; tent with foil.
- Pour off any excess drippings, add the butter, and place the pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 2 minutes or until the shallots have softened.
- Add the wine to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, for a minute or two, until the wine has almost all evaporated.
- Add the chicken stock, cream, and Dijon mustard and cook for 2 minutes longer or until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
- Add the parsley and pour the sauce over the chops. Serve immediately.
