Create restaurant style pork chops with a sweet, tangy raspberry balsamic reduction sauce. This recipe uses simple pan searing for juicy results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Sear the pork chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. If your chops are thick, transfer the skillet to a preheated 400°F oven and bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove chops and set aside to rest, covering loosely with foil.
  4. While the chops rest, prepare the glaze. In the same skillet (or a small saucepan), combine the raspberries, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, gently mashing the berries with a spoon as they soften.
  6. Continue to cook until the sauce has reduced by about half and coats the back of a spoon. This is your balsamic reduction sauce for meat.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the butter until melted and smooth. If using, add the rosemary sprig for 2 minutes, then remove it.
  8. Spoon the warm raspberry balsamic glaze generously over the rested pork chops before serving.

Notes

  • For thicker chops, you may need to increase the oven baking time to reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
  • If you prefer a smoother glaze, press the finished sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the raspberry seeds.
  • Pair these sweet and savory pork chops with roasted asparagus or creamy mashed potatoes.
