I like using pork chops with the bone because I find they come out slightly juicier than boneless chops. The meat attached to the bone is super soft and tender too. Having said that, boneless pork chops will work just fine with this recipe.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips for preparing pork chops<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Room Temp<\/strong> \u2013 Bringing the pork to room temp will relax the meat and prevent it from seizing up in the pan. It\u2019ll also allow the pork to cook evenly through the centre.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pat Dry with Paper Towels<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Excess moisture will cause the pork to steam in the pan and prevent it from caramelizing properly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season<\/strong> \u2013 Just like a steak, pork chops need a generous seasoning of salt &amp; black pepper!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Pork Fat<\/h3>\n<p>If the strip of fat on your pork chops is fairly thick, you might want to <strong>consider scoring it<\/strong> (making small slits across the strip). The reason being as the fat shrinks it can curve the chops and prevent them from laying flat in the pan.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Process shots: pat pork dry with paper towels (photo 1), rub in salt and pepper (photo 2), add to hot pan with oil (photo 3), sear until golden then flip (photo 4).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19585 size-medium lazyload\" title=\"how to prepare pork chops\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"4 step by step photos showing how to prepare pork chops\" width=\"744\" height=\"930\" data-pin-description=\"Juicy pan-fried pork chops drenched in a simple and delicious garlic sauce. | www.dontgobaconmyheart.co.uk\" data-src=\"http:\/\/brainanti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/how-to-prepare-pork-chops-744x930-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Cooking Pork Chops<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You essentially want to cook the pork as you would a steak. As such, you\u2019ll want the pan as hot as you can get it. This will ensure the outside of the pork <strong>caramelizes without the inside overcooking<\/strong>. A cast iron skillet works well if you have one.<\/p>\n<h3>Basting the Pork Chops<\/h3>\n<p>Basting the pork chops in butter is a great way to <strong>keep them moist<\/strong> and also <strong>wrap them in flavour<\/strong> as they cook. Alongside the butter, we\u2019re also going to add in some <strong>rosemary<\/strong>, <strong>thyme<\/strong> and <strong>garlic<\/strong> for a gorgeous herby, buttery flavour.<\/p>\n<h3>Searing the Fat<\/h3>\n<p>Rendering down the fat is an important step because it allows you to create the base of the sauce. It also gets rid of the rubbery texture of the fat.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Process shots: flip pork chops and drop in butter, garlic, thyme and rosemary (photo 5), baste pork chops in butter (photo 6), wedge herbs and garlic between pork chops (photo 7), flip and sear the strip of fat (photo 8).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19586 size-medium lazyload\" title=\"how to pan fry pork chops\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"4 step by step photos showing how to pan fry pork chops\" width=\"744\" height=\"930\" data-pin-description=\"Juicy pan-fried pork chops drenched in a simple and delicious garlic sauce. | www.dontgobaconmyheart.co.uk\" data-src=\"http:\/\/brainanti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/how-to-pan-fry-pork-chops-744x930-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Pork Chop Sauce<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve removed the pork chops, you\u2019ll be left with a pan of gorgeous flavour. This will create the base of the sauce.<\/p>\n<h3>Deglazing the Pan<\/h3>\n<p>A lot of the flavour will be in the leftover butter and fat, but some will likely be char in the pan. Once you fry the<strong> shallots and garlic<\/strong>, the excess moisture will lift some of this, but most of the deglazing will come from a <strong>splash of white wine<\/strong>. The wine will also help cut through the richness of the sauce. It\u2019s important to reduce it though to burn off the alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve deglazed the pan, you\u2019ll create the sauce with <strong>chicken stock<\/strong> and <strong>cream<\/strong>, alongside a dash of <strong>wholegrain mustard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Process shots: remove pork chops (photo 9), fry shallots (photo 10), fry garlic then simmer wine (photo 11), simmer stock, cream and mustard until thick (photo 12).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19588 size-medium lazyload\" title=\"how to make garlic cream sauce for pork\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"4 step by step photos showing how to make garlic cream sauce for pork\" width=\"744\" height=\"930\" data-pin-description=\"Juicy pan-fried pork chops drenched in a simple and delicious garlic sauce. | www.dontgobaconmyheart.co.uk\" data-src=\"http:\/\/brainanti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/how-to-make-garlic-cream-sauce-for-pork-1-744x930-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Pork Chop Sauce FAQ<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><em>Can I make the sauce ahead of time?<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Because so much of the flavour comes from cooking the pork beforehand, making the sauce by itself ahead of time isn\u2019t something I recommend. Luckily this recipe is super quick to whip up!<\/p>\n<h3><em>Do I have to use wine?<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Using wine is great because as I mentioned, it cuts through the richness of the sauce. The rapid bubbling also helps lift the flavour from the pan. Most, if not all of the alcohol will burn off, but if for whatever reason you don\u2019t want to use it just replace it with more stock.<\/p>\n<h3><em>How do I store leftovers?<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Allow the sauce to completely cool then tightly store in the fridge. Preferably reheat over low in a pan, adding a dash of water to thin out as needed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19581 size-medium lazyload\"

Once smoking hot, drizzle in a dash of oil and place in the pork chops. Leave to fry for 3-5mins, or until deep golden\/lightly charred. You should start to see blood\/moisture just starting to rise to the top side. Flip the chops over and allow to fry for 2mins until they begin to pick up colour on the other side.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-19574-step-0-2\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\"><span>Add butter, garlic (2 whole cloves), thyme and rosemary.

It&#8217;s really important to get them out of the fridge 15-30mins before needed. This will relax the meat and allow it to cook through more evenly. I also like to pat them dry, because excess moisture will prevent caramelization.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>b) Pork Fat<\/strong> &#8211; If there is a considerably large strip of fat on the pork, I recommend scoring it (making tiny slices into the fat). This will help prevent the strip of fat from shrinking the pork and causing it to curl up in the pan.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>c) Cooked Pork\/Timings<\/strong> &#8211; In general timings will depend on the thickness of the pork. The meat should be white all the way through and it&#8217;s recommended to get to a safe temp of 145F\/63C with the juices running clear. Keep in mind it&#8217;ll continue cooking slightly as it rests.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>d) Sauce<\/strong> &#8211; Because so much of the flavour in the sauce comes from cooking the pork, I don&#8217;t recommend cooking it separately. Having said that, if you have leftovers just allow the sauce to completely cool then tightly store in the fridge. Reheat on low in a pan with a splash of whatever to thin out as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>e) Calories<\/strong> &#8211; Whole recipe divided by 2
