Blue Ribbon Recipe

This pork chop with wine sauce recipe takes ordinary pork chops to the next level. Red wine adds robust flavor to the sauce and pairs nicely with the pork chops and cooked onions. We loved the hint of tangy Dijon mustard that adds to the sauce. We opted to add the sliced mushrooms and thought they slightly elevated the flavor of the pork chop dinner. It does take a little extra time to prepare, so it's a great dinner option if you're having company or a night when you want a nicer meal.

How To Make pork chops with wine sauce

Step 1

Trim excess fat and loosen pieces from pork chops. Add oil to a Dutch oven, and add the trimmed pieces of pork. Brown on medium-high heat for 7 to 9 minutes.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions, optional mushrooms, thyme, bay leaves, garlic, spicy mustard, and allspice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until onions are soft and golden brown.
Step 3

Add the wine and the vinegar. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until thickened.
Step 4

Add the chicken broth and stir to incorporate any brown bits on the bottom.
Step 5

Add the bay leaves.
Step 6

Place the chops on top of the onions.
Step 7

Place in oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the chops are tender and cooked through. Remove chops to a dish to rest (tent with foil) as you finish the sauce.
Step 8

Once the pork chops are tender, remove them from the pot. Remove the herb stems and bay leaves. Cook down the juices for 5 - 7 minutes. Whisk in 2 Tbsp butter, 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk for 2 minutes and pour over the pork chops to serve.
