Ingredients
5 4 oz Pork Loin chops, bonelessSalt and Pepper (between 1/2 and 1 tsp each)Ground Marjoram - 1 tsp1/4 cup diced shallots2 ounces Grand Marnier (optional )3 tsp whole grain Dijon Mustard1/4 cup Orange marmalade1 cup Orange juiceOrange slices for garnish if desired
Preheat oven to 425.
Rub pork chops with Salt, Pepper and Marjoram and set aside while you heat up a large oven proof skillet. When it is very hot add 1 tbl Olive Oil and 1 tsp of butter, when it is sizzling, add the pork chops, 2 at a time and sear on both sides. (don't crowd the pan, or they will not brown properly) Remove to platter, finish searing all 5.
Turn down heat under pan and add shallots, soften slightly then deglaze with the Grand Marnier. Scrape up all of the brown bits left from the chops, this adds a nice flavor to the sauce. Cook for a minute then add Marmalade and Dijon mustard, stirring after each addition. Add orange Juice and stir/whisk everything together, let it simmer for about 2 minutes, remove half of the sauce to a separate saucepan, and lay pork chops back in the original skillet with the remaining sauce. Turn the porkies once or twice to get all of that orangey goodness on all sides.
Slide skillet into preheated oven for 20 - 25 minutes, or until the chops reach an internal temp of 155.
Simmer remaining sauce on stovetop until thickened and reduced. Spoon over chops when served.
We like this dish with green beans almondine and rice pilaf. It is fast, easy, delicious and makes you look like a whiz in the kitchen.
