Apple Cider Pork Chops

Step 1

Salt & pepper pork chops on both sides. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once the pan is hot (it should sizzle when you add the pork), add the pork chops to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until both sides are nicely browned.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute or two. Lower heat to low-medium, then slowly add the cider.

Step 5

Using a wooden spoon, gently scrape up any meat bits and garlic around the pork chops. Return heat to medium-high and allow the cider temperature to come to a low boil - just until it bubbles a bit and starts to slightly thicken.

Step 6

Turn off heat and plate the pork chops. Drizzle the cider glaze over the pork chops.

Step 7

Serve immediately.
