Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 shallots, finely minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1 cup cherry preserves
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Let them rest for 5 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate; cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. As it melts, stir in the shallots and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the red wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet using a wooden spoon.
Step 5
Add the chicken stock to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the cherry preserves, Dijon mustard, and fresh thyme leaves. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Serve the pork chops hot, topped with the cherry mustard sauce. Enjoy with your choice of sides!
