Cider Glazed Pork Chops image

This is the perfect fall dish. It is a great blend of sweet and savory. As soon as apple season comes around, I hit the local apple orchard for fresh cider just to make this dish!

Provided by Grooved Pavement

Categories     Pork

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sirloin pork chops, trimmed of visible fat and the thickness can range from 1/2-inch thick to 3/4-inch (about 1 1/2 pounds)
fresh ground pepper
salt (optional)
2 teaspoons olive oil (canola oil can be used)
1 cup apple cider (sparkling cider can be used)
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar (I have used plain white vinegar as well with no taste difference)
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard (add a pinch or two more to taste if desired)

Steps:

  • Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season each side with a sprinkling of pepper, and salt if desired. Heat oil in a large nonstick frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until just hot then add pork chops and brown both sides (around 5 minutes if your pork chops are around 1/2-inch thick).
  • Stir cider and brown sugar together and add to the frying pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer the pork chops, uncovered, turning the chops after a minute, until the meat is almost cooked through but not quite (about 2 minutes). Remove pork chops to a plate with a fork.
  • Add the vinegar and ground mustard to the frying pan juices and bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Continue to cook until the glaze mixture is reduced to about 1/3 cup. It will take 5 to 10 minutes. The cider mixture will get bubbly when it is just about at the syrup/glaze stage.
  • Turn off heat. Place the pork chops back in the frying pan along with any juices that formed on the bottom of the plate.
  • Flip chops over to coat both sides with the cider glaze, cover frying pan and let sit for a minute or two to blend flavors. Check thickest part of the pork chop for desired doneness and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat. This will help the chops stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Trim the chops: Remove any excess fat from the chops before cooking. This will help prevent the chops from becoming greasy.
  • Season the chops: Sprinkle the chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before cooking. This will help enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Sear the chops: Sear the chops in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side. This will create a nice crust on the chops and help lock in the juices.
  • Reduce the heat: After searing the chops, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chops reach your desired level of doneness.
  • Make the cider glaze: While the chops are cooking, make the cider glaze by simmering apple cider, brown sugar, and spices in a saucepan until it thickens. This will take about 10 minutes.
  • Glaze the chops: Once the chops are cooked, brush them with the cider glaze and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the glaze is heated through.
  • Serve the chops: Serve the chops immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.

Conclusion:

Cider-glazed lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
