These Rosemary Sherry Pork Chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The pork chops are tender and juicy, marinated in a flavorful combination of rosemary and sherry. They are then seared to perfection and finished off in the oven for a deliciously crispy crust. Serve these pork chops with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sherry
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the rosemary, sherry, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure to coat both sides of the pork chops. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place them in the hot skillet. Sear the pork chops for 2 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve the rosemary sherry pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables.

Interesting Facts

  • Marinating the pork chops in sherry helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with a delicious flavor.
  • Rosemary is a fragrant herb that pairs well with pork, adding a savory and earthy taste to the dish.
  • The searing step helps to lock in the juices and create a nice caramelized crust on the pork chops.
  • Resting the pork chops after cooking allows the juices to redistribute and ensures that the meat stays moist and tender.
