Pork Chops with Zesty Sauce
Zesty Sauce
* 1/4 cup water
* 3 tablespoons chili sauce
* 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
* 2 teaspoons soy sauce
* 1 teaspoon A1® steak sauce
Pork Chops
* 4 lean boneless pork loin chops (each about 8 ounces and about 1
inch thick)
* 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
* 1 tablespoon good olive oil
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
* 1/2 cup chopped onion
* 1/3 cup minced scallions
* 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
* 1 cup diced (1-inch) tomato
* 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives
For the sauce: Mix the ingredients in a small bowl.
For the pork chops: Trim the pork chops of any fat. Heat the oven to
180 degrees.
Heat the butter with the olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until hot. Sprinkle the meat with the salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned. Arrange the meat on an ovenproof platter and keep it warm in the oven.
Add the vinegar to the drippings in the skillet and cook over high
heat for about 1 minute to reduce and mellow the vinegar. Add the
onion, scallions, garlic, and tomato and cook for about 2 minutes over high heat. Add the sauce and boil for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes over high heat. Stir in the olives and any juices the meat has rendered and bring back to a boil. Coat the chops with the sauce and serve
immediately.
