Pork Chop Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork Chops

   Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and black pepper. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.

2. 2

   Sear the Pork Chops

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned pork chops to the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.

3. 3

   Rest the Pork Chops

   Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil, while you prepare the sauce.

4. 4

   Make the Sauce

   In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Allow it to melt, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Once melted, carefully pour in the brandy and cook for 1-2 minutes to deglaze, stirring constantly.

5. 5

   Finish the Sauce

   Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   Plate the rested pork chops and drizzle the brandy and parsley butter sauce over them. Serve immediately.
