Citrus Marinated Pork Chops Recipe

Citrus Marinated Pork Chops Recipe

  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 2 oranges, juiced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 center-cut pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  1. In a large, nonreactive bowl, combine all ingredients except the 1 teaspoon olive oil, pork chops, and butter; mix well. Add chops, and spoon marinade over them to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Remove chops from marinade, reserving marinade. Brush pan with the teaspoon of oil; cook chops for 5 minutes on each side. Add marinade, lower heat, and cook, covered, for 7 minutes, turning chops once.
  3. Remove chops from pan, and set aside. Turn up heat to medium high; reduce liquid until thick. Remove from heat, stir in butter, and strain. Pour sauce over chops; serve immediately.
