Pork Chops with a Perfect Crust - A Flavorful Weeknight Dinner Option, Simplified!

Get ready to savor juicy, well-seasoned pork chops with a golden-brown crust, all cooked in one pan for maximum convenience! Here's a streamlined approach that ensures tender, mouth-watering results every time. Plus, a quick and easy pan sauce adds an extra layer of depth. Garnish these succulent chops with herb-infused extras for an irresistible twist.

Ingredients You'll Need:

  • 2 (1-inch-thick) bone-in pork loin chops, evenly sized for even cooking
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Prep Time: 5 minutesCook Time: 25 minutesServings: 2

Ready-to-Grab Essentials:

  • Opt for consistent-size pork chops to ensure even cooking and cooking times. Choose a premium quality Dijon, like Fallot's, for optimal flavor.

Let's Cook:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) with a rack in the center.
  2. Dry the pork chops with a paper towel, then rub them with oil, followed by a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat a large oven-suitable pan over medium-high heat until water droplets skitter across the pan and evaporate. Place the chops inside, undisturbed, until they develop a golden crust on the bottom (about 3 minutes).
  4. Flip the chops over and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer.
  5. Using a pot holder or oven mitt, remove the pan from the oven and transfer the cooked chops to a plate, covering them loosely with aluminum foil to rest.
  6. Carefully pour off the excess fat from the pan and place it back on the stove over medium-high heat. Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom to lift any browned bits and cook them until the wine is reduced by half (around 3 minutes).
  7. Remove the pan from the heat. Gradually add the butter piece by piece, stirring until each piece is fully melted and the sauce thickens. Mix in the parsley and Dijon mustard. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Spoon the sauce over two serving plates, placing a pork chop on top of each.
