Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 bone-in pork loin chops (1 inch thick and 10 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
GLAZE:
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup honey
3 green onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Sprinkle pork chops with pepper flakes, salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add pork; cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°). Remove and keep warm., In the same skillet, whisk the vinegar, honey, green onions, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 6-8 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; whisk in butter until melted. Serve with pork chops.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use a meat mallet to pound the pork chops to an even thickness. This also helps tenderize the meat.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the pork chops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, and 155°F (68°C) for medium-well.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can use red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • To make a gluten-free version of the sauce, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.

Conclusion:

Bacon-stuffed pork chops with creamy balsamic sauce is an impressive and delicious dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of savory bacon, tender pork, and tangy balsamic sauce is sure to please everyone at your table. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this restaurant-quality meal at home.
