Print Recipe

This delightfully easy and lovely sauce works just as well over lamb, chicken and fish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork chops
  • 1 cup Chardonnay
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • olive oil
  • kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Heat your oven to 450˚F.
  2. Combine the butter and flour in a small bowl. Using your fingers, knead the butter and flour together until a paste is formed. Set aside.
  3. Season your chops.
  4. Heat on oven-proof skillet on medium-high to high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Give the skillet a swirl to evenly distribute the oil.
  5. Lay the chops in the skillet. Sear on one side until browned to your liking.
  6. Flip the chop to the other side, turn off the heat, and place the skillet in the oven. Roast in the oven until the chops reach an internal temperature of 145˚F. This will take 2-3 minutes depending on how thick your chops are.
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven and move the chops to a sheet pan, platter, or plate to keep them warm.
  8. Place the skillet back on the stove.
  9. Add the wine.
  10. Turn the burner on high until the wine begins to simmer. Lower the heat, but maintain a simmer to reduce the wine in half.
  11. Once reduced, add the orange juice.
  12. Bring the wine and the orange juice to a simmer.
  13. Add the dried thyme.
  14. Add the flour and butter mixture to the sauce in fourths, whisking after each addition.
  15. Once all the flour and butter mixture has been incorporated, simmer on low for about 5 minutes.
  16. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Notes

Serve this dish over risotto, smashed sweet potatoes, roasted asparagus or any other vegetable or starch your heart desires.
