This post once again is for my brother Rob. I’m hoping he finds this delicious 🙂
The thing I most liked about this recipe is that it was easy, delicious, and not overly time-consuming.
I doubled the sauce portion of the recipe because I knew that I would like to pour more sauce on my pork than the directions called for.
I paired this hearty recipe with homemade buttermilk mashed potatoes and baked green beans. Deliciously filling.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons black peppercorns
- 4 1/2-inch-thick bone-in rib pork chops
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup medium-dry Sherry
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Coarsely crush peppercorns by gently pounding once or twice with a heavy skillet.
- Pat chops dry and sprinkle both sides evenly with salt and peppercorns, pressing to help them adhere.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook 2 pork chops, turning over once, until browned and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes total.
- Transfer to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
- Cook remaining 2 chops in remaining tablespoon oil in the same manner, transferring to plate. (Do not wipe out the skillet after the second batch.)
- Add Sherry to skillet and boil, scraping up any brown bits, until reduced by half, about 1 minute.
- Add cream and any meat juices accumulated on the plate, then boil, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Season sauce with salt and serve over chops.
