Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 0.5 cups dry vermouth
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups chicken stock
• 0.5 pieces lemon
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper and let them rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature.

Step 2

Mince the garlic and strip the leaves off one rosemary sprig. Finely chop the rosemary leaves and set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer the chops to a plate and cover with foil.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan by adding the dry vermouth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits at the bottom. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the chicken stock and the juice of half a lemon, then return the pork chops to the skillet. Add the second sprig of rosemary to the pan as well.

Step 7

Simmer the pork chops for 5-7 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the meat. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a serving plate for 5 minutes. Simmer the sauce for another 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly, if desired.

Step 9

Pour the sauce over the pork chops and garnish with rosemary sprigs or a wedge of lemon. Serve immediately.
