Pan Roasted Pork Chops with Cranberry and Wine pan sauce

Tonight I wanted to played with pan sauces. Trying to think of something new tonight I walked into my pantry and looked in the refrigerator and had the perfect ingredients for a new pan sauce. The best part, it was easy, fast, and a success. Definitely an original recipe I'll make again!



Pan Roasted Pork Chops with Cranberry & Wine Sauce:

Two thick center cut pork chops
2 tbsp. olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste

Sauce
1 shallot minced
1 clove garlic minced
1/3 c. wine wine
1/2 c. beef stock
1/3 c. dried cranberries

Heat oil over medium heat. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops. Place pork chops in pan and cook on both sides until internal temperature reaches 150 degrees. Set pork chop aside to rest.

Add minced shallot and garlic to pan stir till translucent. Deglaze pan with wine. Add beef stock and cranberries and reduce by half. Add any additional juices from pork chops into the sauce. Pour over the pork chops and serve.

I'm always on the look out for pork chop recipes- it's one of those meats we rarely cook and should have more often and I absolutely Love Cranberry, so know this would be a sure winner!

That pork looks good. The cranberry wine sauce sounds tasty. Pan sauces are so easy and tasty. There are also near limitless variations.
