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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Coarsely crush peppercorns by gently pounding once or twice with a heavy skillet.
  2. Pat chops dry and sprinkle both sides evenly with salt and peppercorns, pressing to help them adhere.
  3. 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.
  4. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
  5. 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.)
  6. Add Sherry to skillet and boil, scraping up any brown bits, until reduced by half, about 1 minute.
  7. Add cream and any meat juices accumulated on the plate, then boil, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  8. Season sauce with salt and serve over chops.
