Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 2 - bone-in pork rib chops (look for the most marbled ones you can find, preferably with some fat cap to
- 1 1/2 teaspoons - sugar, divided
- 2 tablespoons - extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 - large shallot, chopped
- 4 - garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 1/4 cups - red wine vinegar
- 3 - sprigs rosemary
- 1 tablespoons - drained capers
- 2 tablespoons - unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- - kosher salt
Directions:
Step 1
Season pork chops with salt and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 tsp sugar. Heat 1 Tbs oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chops, undisturbed, until well browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook just until second side is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer chops to a plate (they won't be fully cooked); reduce heat to medium.
Step 2
Pour remaining 1 Tbsp. oil into same skillet and add shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until softened and just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add vinegar and remaining 1 tsp. sugar to skillet. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until vinegar is nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add rosemary, capers, and 1/2 cup water to skillet; season with salt. Reduce heat as needed to maintain a very low simmer. Add butter and swirl pan continuously (and vigorously) until sauce becomes smooth, glossy, and emulsified.
Step 5
Return pork chops to skillet, arranging darker side up. Simmer gently in sauce, swirling occasionally, until chops are cooked through, about 3 minutes (a thermometer inserted near the bones should register 135 degrees).
Step 6
Transfer pork chops to plates and spoons sauce over.
