Pork chops with a glossy apple cider glaze is really easy, and while there's no starch or extra butter involved, it reduces quickly to a thick, rich, sweet-tart apple syrup.

Ingredients

  • 6 (6 ounce) boneless center-cut pork chops

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

  • 2 cups apple cider

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon minced rosemary

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Season pork chops with salt and black pepper.

  2. Heat oil and butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops in the hot oil mixture until browned on both sides and pork is slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove pan from the heat; transfer pork chops to a plate.

  3. Stir garlic into the pan and place over medium-high heat; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Pour in vinegar and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add apple cider and Dijon mustard, bring mixture to a boil, and cook until sauce is reduced and thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rosemary and red pepper flakes; season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. Return pork chops to the pan to warm slightly, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
