This Rosemary Garlic Butter Pork Chops recipe offers a flavorful and juicy way to prepare boneless pork loin chops. Coated in seasoned flour and pan-fried to a golden crust, the chops are then simmered briefly in a rich rosemary and garlic butter sauce, making an elegant yet simple dish perfect for any dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Pork Chops

  • 4x 150g/5oz boneless Pork Loin Chops

Coating Mixture

  • 35g / 1/4 cup Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Cooking Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp finely diced Fresh Rosemary
  • 2 cloves Garlic, finely diced
  • 120ml / 1/2 cup Chicken Stock
  • 6 tbsp / 90g Unsalted Butter, diced into small cubes

Serving

  • 1 Lemon, sliced into 4 wedges (to serve)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coating: In a large shallow dish, combine the plain flour with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Coat both sides of the pork chops thoroughly in this mixture and set them aside.
  2. Sear the Pork Chops: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the coated pork chops and fry each side for about 3 minutes until golden and nearly cooked through. If the chops have strips of fat, stack them with the fat sides aligned and sear the fat side down to render it. Remove the chops and place on a plate. Adjust the pan’s heat to medium, ensuring about 1 tablespoon of fat remains, discarding any excess.
  3. Create the Sauce: Add the finely diced rosemary and garlic to the pan. Fry gently in the remaining fat until the garlic lightly colors but does not burn. Pour in the chicken stock and whisk in the butter cubes until they melt and emulsify into a rich sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly until the sauce thickens and becomes cloudy. Stir in any resting juices from the pork and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine & Serve: Reduce the heat to low and return the pork chops to the pan. Baste them in the sauce for about a minute, letting the excess flour thicken the sauce further. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge per person to add a fresh zest.

Notes

  • Finely dicing the garlic helps it infuse flavor without overpowering the sauce.
  • When searing pork fat, stacking the chops aligned fat side down helps render it perfectly.
  • Be careful not to burn the garlic as it will develop a bitter taste.
  • The flour coating helps thicken the sauce naturally as it simmers with the butter and stock.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
