- For pork:
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Remove pork chops from brine; pat dry. Season lightly with salt and generously with ground black pepper. Heat olive oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Cook pork chops in skillet until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven and cook until thermometer inserted horizontally into pork chops registers 145°F, about 7 minutes. Transfer pork to plate (do not clean skillet).

- Divide cabbage among plates. Place 1 pork chop on each plate. Drizzle pork with sauce and serve.
Tips:
- To ensure tender pork chops, choose chops that are at least 1 inch thick and bone-in. Thinner chops will dry out quickly.
- Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Sear the pork chops over high heat until they are browned on both sides. This will create a flavorful crust and help to keep the chops moist.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook the pork chops until they are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
- For the red cabbage, use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help it to cook evenly.
- Sauté the cabbage in butter or olive oil over medium heat until it is tender and slightly caramelized. Season the cabbage with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar.
- Serve the pork chops with the sautéed red cabbage and your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
