Submitted By: Taz


Ingredients:

2 Thick Cut, Bone-in Pork Rib or Loin Chops (apx 1 lb each and 1 ½ - 2 inches thick)
2 Tbs Oil - can use lard or any high smoke oil (NOT olive oil)

Marinade:
½ Cup Oil - can use avocado, grapeseed, sunflower, vegetable, or canola oil
2 Tbs Soy Sauce
2 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

Pan Sauce:
¼ Cup White Wine - can use Pino Grigio, Pino Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, or any dry white wine
3 Tbs Unsalted Butter
½ Cup Heavy Cream

Preparation:
  1. In a small/medium bowl, whisk together all of the marinade ingredients until thoroughly combined -Transfer to a large zip-top bag and add the pork chops
  2. Massage the marinade into the chops until well coated - Get out as much air as possible, and seal the bag – Place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours (up to 8 hours for better results)
  3. When ready to cook, remove the chops from the marinade and pat dry
  4. Heat the 2 Tbs of oil in a large skillet (cast iron is best) over medium-high heat until shimmering
  5. Add the chops and sear for 2-3 minutes to a side until well browned
  6. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook the chops (turning as needed) until an instant read thermometer reads 135-140°F in the thickest part of the chop (apx 5-8 minutes more)
  7. Transfer the chops to a clean plate and immediately season both sides with the 4 tsp of Montreal steak seasoning pressing it in to make sure it adheres - Loosely tent with foil and allow to rest while you make the pan sauce
  8. Add the wine to the skillet to deglaze (gently scrape the bottom with a wooden or silicone spatula to get up all of the browned bits) - Add the butter and 1 tsp Montreal steak seasoning and thoroughly combine making sure the butter is fully melted - Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer - Allow to simmer (stirring frequently) until thickened
  9. Transfer the chops to serving plates and drizzle the pan sauce over the top - Serve hot alongside roasted or pan seared vegetables, smashed, roasted, or scalloped potatoes, applesauce, greens, or any of your favorite sides
