Seared Pork Chops With Caper Sauce
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.

  2. Pat chops dry with a paper towel, and then generously sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

  4. Add the chops and sear on one side for about 6 to 8 minutes, until golden brown on the bottoms. Flip the chops over and sear the other sides for another 6 to 8 minutes. The chops won't be completely cooked through at this point.

  5. Transfer the chops and cook until the internal temperature reaches 135°F. An instant-read thermometer ensures the perfect temperature.

  6. Meanwhile, pour all but about 1 tbsp of oil from the pan and reduce the heat to medium.

  7. Add the shallots and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until soft. Stir in the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.

  8. Add the capers and simmer for 1 minute.

  9. Add the vinegar, stock, and mustard and stir until combined. Simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 to 3 minutes.

  10. Stir in the cream and a healthy pinch of salt and pepper.

  11. Place chops on plate or platter and pour sauce over them. Pass remaining sauce at the table.
