Seared and browned pork chops in a black cast iron pan covered with red, green peppers in a rich brown sauce

Pork & Peppers

Seared pork chops cooked with sweet, spicy and tangy peppers in a wine and stock based sauce!

 I have come across this dish in a couple restaurants and it easily became a favorite of mine because it is simple and rustic and that speaks to me when it comes to food

Of course, when I have had something enough times to call it a favorite it is time for me to make my own version

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Preheat your oven to 450 F

Let’s start off with the pork

We are using 4 bone-in center cut pork chops that we have removed any excess fat from

Add the wine to the peppers

Bring the wine to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook 6-8 minutes

You want the wine to reduce by half and the alcohol to cook off

Sprinkle with the flour and stir to combine

Add the stock next and stir
