Ingredients:
- 4 (3/4-inch-thick) pork chops, ~2lbs
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ~3 oz shallots, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
Method:
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Pat pork dry and season both sides with sea salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-proof skillet (or have a second, oven-proof dish ready to transfer to, if necessary), heat oil/fat over medium heat.
- Add the chops and brown them on both sides, ~2-3 minutes per side.
- While the chops are cooking, add a little oil to a small sauce pan, over medium-to-low heat, and saute the shallots for a couple of minutes. Once the shallots have softened up and turned golden brown, add the balsamic vinegar and a little more salt and pepper (to taste). Cook sauce until the ingredients combine and start to thicken up, ~2-3 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the pork chops and transfer the skillet to the oven.
- Cover skillet and bake the pork chops, in the sauce for ~30 minutes, or until temperature reaches 160 degrees.
- Serve with favorite veggies and be sure to pour sauce over the chops for maximum flavor.
