Baked Pork Chop

Ingredients:

4 (1-inch-thick) bone-in pork loin chops 

2 tsp. olive oil

Salt

Fresh ground pepper

Garlic powder

Red pepper flakes (for heat, optional)

Sauce:

1 c beef broth

1 tbsp. olive oil

2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley leaves 

2 tsp. Dijon mustard

Instruction:

1. Heat the oven 400 F

2. Pat dry the pork chop, rub the olive oil. Season both side with salt, pepper, powdered garlic & red pepper flakes.

3. Heat oven-safe frying pan in medium-high heat, until hot for 3-4 minutes. Put the pork chops and cook undisturbed until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. 

4. Flip the pork chops and place the pan in the oven. Cook until golden brown, about 15 mins. 

5. Remove the pan out of the oven & return it into stovetop. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and cover them loosely with foil; set aside.

6. Using the kitchen towel or potholder to grasp the handle of the pan (be careful not to touch the handle with your bare hands for the remainder of the cooking time), pour off and discard any fat. Add the broth, place the pan over medium-high heat, and cook, scraping up any browned bits that have accumulated on the bottom of the pan, until the broth is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

7. Remove the pan from the heat.

8. Whisk in the olive oil. Whisk in the parsley and mustard. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. 

9. Place a pork chop on top of the sauce on each plate, and serve immediately.

Enjoy! ^_^.
