Description

These are the easiest pork chops to make and can be on the table in about 20 minutes. The secret to make them juicy and tender is to give them a good sear in melted butter and then roast them in the oven. Finish them off with an incredible sweet and sour

Ingredients

• 4 - 8 oz. bone-in pork chops, 3⁄4 - 1 inch thick, patted dry
• kosher salt, to taste
• freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 T. unsalted butter
• Glaze:
• 1⁄4 c. balsamic vinegar
• 3 T. honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1⁄2 t. dried oregano
• 1⁄2 t. dried basil
• 1⁄2 t. dried thyme
• pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear one side of the pork chops until golden brown, 2 - 3 minutes. Flip chops over; transfer to the oven. If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, transfer the pork chops to a baking dish to roast.
