Time 1h35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup whiskey
1/2 cup apple cider (non-alcoholic)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 -3 lbs center-cut pork chops (4 chops, each about 1-inch thick)
salt
black pepper
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon butter, very cold

Steps:

In a bowl, whisk together the sauce base ingredients.
Transfer 1/4 cup of mixture to a zip top bag and add pork chops. Press out as much air as possible and seal the bag. Marinate no more than one hour.
Remove chops from bag. Pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a 12" skillet over medium-high flame. Add oil. When oil shimmers, add chops. Sear both sides until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.
Pour remaining sauce mixture into hot skillet. Scrape up browned bits (fond) from the bottom of the pan. Reduce over medium-high heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in remaining vinegar and juices from pork chops. Whisk in cold butter.
Return chops to pan, presentation side down. Turn chops over to glaze them fully. Turn off heat. Cover for 5 minutes to finish cooking.

Steps:

Mix together the whiskey, brown sugar and water and set aside. Rub each chop, both sides, with the mustard/cayenne seasoning.
Heat oil in a fry pan until hot then place the pork chops in the pan and brown both sides of each chop, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat if needed to avoid burning.
Once browned on both sides, remove chops from heat and put aside. Pour the whiskey/sugar/water mixture into the hot pan leaving any "brown bits". Heat to burn off the alcohol and stir until the mixture become thick, like a glaze.
Turn the heat down to low and return the chops to the pan and cover. Allow the chops to simmer in this glaze for about 10-15 minutes, turning once.
Remove from heat and pour any remaining glaze on top.
