This recipe was an accident. I was experimenting with flavors and wasn’t expecting much out of it, but the apple cider addition yielded some of the best pork I’ve ever tasted (and the boyfriend agreed).
Ingredients
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried sage, divided
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 (6 ounce) pork chops
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 teaspoons honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine brown sugar, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Dredge pork chops in seasoning mixture until coated thoroughly.
Step 3
Heat olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat until butter is frothy, 1 to 2 minutes. Brown pork chops in the hot skillet on each side, 7 to 10 minutes total. Add apple cider, remaining sage, and drizzle in honey. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until pork chops are no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Step 5
Remove the skillet from the oven and plate pork chops with sauce.
Cook’s Note:
If necessary, reduce the sauce further on the stovetop until sauce is a nice glaze after plating pork chops. For a thicker glaze, carefully mix in 1 teaspoon or so of cornstarch.
