Ingredients

  • 4 thin-cut bone-in pork chops
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 8 cloves garlic grated or minced
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Chopped parsley and thyme sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  • Place the pork chops on parchment paper and pat dry with paper towels.  
  • In a small dish, combine the salt, black pepper and paprika together and season both sides of the pork chops. 
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy bottomed pan set over medium high heat and add the oil.  When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the pork chops and sear for 1 minute on each side. 
  • Transfer the seared pork chops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm, (they will continue to cook from residual heat.)
  • Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium, and melt the butter, then add the garlic and sauté  for 30 seconds.  Pour in the wine and honey.  Increase the heat to medium high, bring to a boil and reduce the sauce until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.  Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the thyme leaves.  
  • Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the hot sauce over the pork chops to coat and reheat them.
  • Serve immediately with the remaining sauce served on the side.  

Notes

  • To avoid tough, dry, overcooked pork chops do not begin cooking them when they are icy-cold.  Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before cooking and allow them to come to room temperature.  They will only need a quick of 1 to 1-1/2 minutes searing on each side to get to 145°F.
  • Chicken broth can be substituted for the white wine.
  • Options using different fresh herbs such as rosemary, fennel or sage.
