Pork Chops with Rosemary Reduction
Servings: 4 Prep 25 mins Cook 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork loin chops, cut 1-inch thick
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted chicken broth or dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Make It

1. Pat pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl combine the garlic and 1 tablespoon of the rosemary; sprinkle mixture over both sides of pork chops and press in lightly.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook about 10 minutes or until done (145 degrees F to 160 degrees F), turning once and reducing heat if necessary to prevent overbrowning. Remove pork from skillet; cover and set aside.

3. Add broth and remaining rosemary to skillet; increase heat to high. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Cook, uncovered, until liquid reduces by half (about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes), stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat and stir in butter until melted. Serve pork drizzled with some of the sauce. Pass remaining sauce.
