Maple Balsamic Pork Chops
These Balsamic Pork Chops are juicy and tender boneless pork chops that are pan seared and coated with a delectable sweet and tangy balsamic maple glaze. They are loaded with the most incredible flavor the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 1 T extra virgin olive oil
- 4 4 oz Boneless Pork Chops
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2½ T maple syrup
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-duty or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Blot off extra moisture on the boneless chops with a paper towel.
- Season pork chops on each side with salt and pepper, to taste, and add to the large skillet. Brown pork chops on each side, including the sides of the chops, approximately 3 minutes per side. Remove pork chops from pan and set aside on a rimmed dish.
- Add balsamic vinegar and maple syrup to hot skillet and bring to a boil, stirring the bottom of the pan constantly. Reduce to medium heat and cook mixture until it is reduced to about 1/3 of its original volume. When ready, the glaze will become thick and syrupy. (Do not overcook or the mixture will become hard and sticky).
- Place pork chops back in the skillet along with the juices that collected on the plate. Stir liquid to blend juices into the syrup and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer chops to a serving platter or individual serving plate and drizzle with the maple glaze sauce. Serve immediately
