Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
- 2 (1 1/2-inch) pork chops
- Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
- Madeira Sauce, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the grapeseed oil. Allow the oil to smoke slightly. Season each pork chop with salt and pepper, to taste, and add to the pan. Sear on each side for 2 minutes. Once nicely browned on each side, transfer the chops to a sheet pan with a rack and bake in the oven for an additional 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the chops from the oven to a serving platter. Reserve the pan for the Madeira Sauce.
Madeira Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon minced shallots
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 5 to 6 cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Madeira wine
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
In same skillet that the chops were seared, add 1 tablespoon of the butter, the shallots, garlic, and the mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat until slightly caramelized. Add flour and mix to a paste. Add the Madeira wine and deglaze the pan. Lower the heat, add the beef broth and simmer for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in the remaining butter and the fresh herbs. Once the butter has melted, pour the sauce over the pork chops and serve.

I have made this recipe at least 4 times now and this is a keeper!! The more you make this the more you can tweak the recipe to accommodate your family. I usually always make 5 chops at a time. Aaron this is such a winning recipe, thank you so much for sharing it!!!! There is not one thing wrong with this dish.

Great recipe. One of my daughter's favorites. She always has me add spinach and the family loves it.

Excellent, quick and easy. I had to improvise and use marsala and cut the amt of oil and butter in half to improve healthiness of the recipe - was still delicious! I will likely use for chicken as well. Paired this with lightly glazed honey carrots - worked quite well.
