You can make juicy, pan-seared pork chops topped with a sweet and tangy raspberry balsamic reduction. This recipe offers a gourmet flavor profile that is simple enough for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the pork chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. If your chops are thick, you may need to finish them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5 to 8 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, loosely covered with foil.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the raspberries, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar to the same skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 5 minutes until the raspberries begin to break down.
  5. Stir in the Dijon mustard. Pour in the cornstarch slurry while stirring constantly. Continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the glaze thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  6. Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the raspberry balsamic glaze over the chops. Cook for 1 minute to coat them thoroughly.
  7. Serve the pork chops immediately with extra glaze spooned over the top.

Notes

  • For a smoother glaze, press the cooked sauce through a fine-mesh sieve before returning the pork chops to the pan. Discard the seeds.
  • You can substitute fresh or frozen raspberries with an equal amount of blackberries or mixed berries for a variation.
  • If you are using thicker chops, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to guarantee they are cooked safely to 145°F.
