Caloriesper servingIngredients
- 6 bone-in pork chops (loin or shoulder), cut ¾ inch thick
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large white onion, sliced
- 2 to 3 apples, cored and sliced (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup beer, white wine, cider, or chicken broth
Instructions
- 1Trim excess fat and season chops: Trim the chops of excess fat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 2Sear chops: Heat a 14-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat, and then swirl in the olive oil. Lay in the pork chops and don't move them for a few minutes, to assure a good golden sear forms.
- 3Turn and brown on other side: Turn and brown well on the second side for a total of about 10 minutes. Transfer the chops to a warm plate.
- 4Add butter, then onion and apples and cook: Swirl the butter into the pan. Add the onion and apples. sauté until the onion slices are lightly caramelized and the apples start to soften, about 8 minutes.
- 5Add beer: Stir in the beer or other liquid.
- 6Return chops to pan: Return pork chops to the pan.
- 7Cook until pork is tender: Cook until the pork is tender, about 15 more minutes (depending on the size of the chops), turning halfway through and covering the chops with the apple mixture. If the apple mixture needs a little thickening, transfer the chops to the warm plate again and simmer the mixture on high for a few minutes to reduce.
- 8Serve: Serve the chops over rice or mashed potatoes with a large spoonful of the apple-onion mixture over the top.
