Ingredients

4 (1-inch thick) pork chops
1 cup apple cider
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 tbsp olive oil
1 finely diced shallot
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add pork chops and sear for 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 2: Remove chops and set aside. Add 1 finely diced shallot to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Pour in 1 cup apple cider and 3 fresh rosemary sprigs, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 3 minutes to reduce by half.
Step 3: Stir in 1 tbsp all-purpose flour to thicken, then add 1/2 cup chicken stock. Return pork chops to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce. Cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes until pork reaches 145°F internally.
