Instructions

Step 1: Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
Step 3: Add remaining butter, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Pour in apple cider and vinegar, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 5 minutes until reduced by half and slightly syrupy.
Step 5: Return pork chops to the skillet, coating them in sauce. Cook for 3 more minutes, turning occasionally, until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
