    Making pork chops for dinner used to scare me. I have memories of dry cuts of meat that we smothered with applesauce as a kid. I still love applesauce with my pork chops, but I don't like it to be necessary as a means to add moisture back to an overly cooked dry piece of meat. Now, I won't dare cook a pork chop, nor a lot of cuts of meat, without a thermometer. You just can't trust recipe times because each oven or stovetop is different, and I can only partially trust my nose.

    When cooked properly, a basic salt and pepper pork chop is wonderful. But sometimes I just love a good sauce. And all of the time I just love a good butter sauce. Because, as everyone knows, butter makes everything better. Mix in a bold balsamic reduction and some herbs and the real magic happens.

    I served these chops up with my homemade sweet potato gnocchi and my pressure cooker butternut squash - two sides that are perfect for fall. Enjoy!

    Ingredients

    • 4 bone in pork chops with the majority of the fat trimmed
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • kosher salt & pepper
    • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (minced)
    • 1 teaspoon 1-2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
    • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    • 4 tablespoons butter

    Instructions

    • Rinse pork chops and pat dry. Coat with olive oil and salt and pepper, as desired. Allow to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking. Insert a meat thermometer into the middle of one of the pork chops.
    • Heat grill to medium high. Cook pork chops for 5-8 minutes on both sides or until internal temperature reads 145 degrees F. Allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
    • While the pork chops are cooking, heat balsamic, rosemary, garlic, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow balsamic to reduce by at least half, stirring occasionally. Once a thicker syrup forms, remove from heat and stir in butter to melt.
    • To serve, pour freshly stirred warm sauce over pork chops.

      Loved the balsamic sauce. I added a bit of fig jam, gave it a little sweetness I loved. Great recipe!
