With its perfect balance of savory seasoning, tender juiciness, and a hint of tangy sweetness, this pork chop recipe is a true comfort food masterpiece.
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
1. Begin by patting the pork chops dry with a paper towel to ensure the seasoning adheres properly. Generously season both sides of the chops with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and brown sugar. Rub the seasoning blend evenly over the entire surface of the pork to create a flavorful crust.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until a golden-brown crust forms.
3. After the initial sear, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Baste the pork chops with the melted butter for 1-2 minutes, allowing the rich, creamy flavor to further enhance the dish.
4. To finish the Texas Roadhouse Pork Chop, deglaze the skillet with apple cider vinegar. Allow the vinegar to simmer for 1 minute, gently scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Notes
The Texas Roadhouse Pork Chop pairs beautifully with a variety of classic side dishes. Consider serving it alongside mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad to create a well-balanced and satisfying meal.
While the Texas Roadhouse Pork Chop is already a flavor powerhouse on its own, you can further elevate the dish by serving it with a complementary sauce. A creamy mushroom gravy or a tangy barbecue sauce can be the perfect accompaniment.
