Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 center-cut, bone-in, rib pork chops (about 3 pounds)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, for about 1 minute or until the surface of the pan is uniformly hot. Pat the chops dry, and season the chops on one side with salt and pepper. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the chops seasoned side down and cook until the chops are brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the butter and cook for 1 minute more. Season the top side of the chops, and turn the chops over. Continue cooking until firm and an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees F, about 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer the chops to a plate, tent with foil and set aside to rest.
  • Pour off any fat remaining in the skillet. Pull the pan from the heat and carefully add the bourbon. Return the pan to the heat and tip the pan slightly to ignite the alcohol. Cook until reduced by half then add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 3 minutes, then whisk in the mustard and the cream. Simmer the sauce until it coats the back of a spoon, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve with the pork chops.

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
4 8-to-10-ounce bone-in pork loin chops, trimmed of excess fat
1/2 cup bourbon or apple cider
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
2 medium beefsteak tomatoes, halved crosswise
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for indirect heat: For gas, preheat to medium high, then turn off the burners on one side and turn the other burners to medium low. For charcoal, once the coals ash over, push them to one side.

Tips:

  • To ensure tender pork chops, choose chops that are at least 1-inch thick. If you can't find 1-inch thick chops, you can butterfly them to create thinner chops that will cook more evenly.
  • Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet before braising them. This will help to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Use a good quality bourbon for the braising liquid. A high-quality bourbon will give the pork chops a rich, complex flavor.
  • Add vegetables to the braising liquid for a more flavorful and nutritious dish. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, and garlic.
  • Braise the pork chops for at least 1 hour, or until they are fall-apart tender. The longer you braise them, the more flavorful they will be.
  • Serve the pork chops with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Bourbon-braised pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and flavorful, and the braising liquid makes a delicious sauce that can be served over rice or mashed potatoes. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
