How to Make Pork Chops In Red Wine Sauce

  1. Dredge pork chops (about 4, 1 inch thick) in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook until well-browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden, about 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in 1 cup dry red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot), and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms, and 2 tablespoons tomato paste.
  6. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  7. Cover the skillet and cook for 45-60 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and tender, turning occasionally.
  8. If the sauce becomes too thick, deglaze the pan by adding 1/3 cup of water.
  9. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve the pork chops over rice or your favorite side dish. Spoon the delicious red wine sauce generously over the top.
