Ingredients

  • 4 - 1/2 - - 1 inch thick chops
  • 3/4 teaspoon each - kosher salt, dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon each - pepper, garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1/2 cup red wine

How To Make ~ tender fried chops ~

  • Step 1
    Season chops evenly on both sides and let set for about 30 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Using a cast iron skillet works best for these chops. Place pan on burner over medium heat. Add the oil. Once oil shimmers, add chops to the pan, do not over crowd.
  • Step 3
    Cook slowly on one side about 5 minutes, lower heat some if browning too quickly as cast iron cooks much faster than other skillets. After about 4 - 5 minutes, flip chops to other side. Cook another 4 - 5 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Place lid over skillet and remove from heat. Leave set for 10 minutes for 1/2 inch chops and a little longer for 1 inch. Remove chops and de glaze pan with 1/2 cup red wine and add 1 tablespoon of butter to make a sauce.
  • Step 5
    Plate chops and pour sauce over. Enjoy!
