How to Make Pork Chops Merlot
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season 4 (6-ounce) pork chops with salt and pepper. Add pork chops to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Add 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and cover the skillet. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.
- Add 1 cup Merlot wine to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and thickened to a syrupy consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add a pinch of salt and pepper if necessary.
- Spoon the Merlot sauce over the pork chops and serve immediately with rice and a side salad.
