For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the cherry sauce during the last few minutes of simmering. Fresh thyme or sage can be used in place of rosemary, depending on your preference. If fresh black cherries are not in season, frozen pitted cherries can be used. Thaw them before adding to the sauce. Ensure pork chops are cooked to a safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)
02
StepSeason the pork chops generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
03
StepHeat vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add pork chops and sear on both sides until deeply browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. This creates a flavorful crust. (6 minutes)
04
StepTransfer the skillet with the pork chops to the preheated oven and bake until the pork chops are cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chop, avoiding the bone, to ensure accuracy. (Approximately 20-25 minutes)
05
StepWhile the pork chops are baking, prepare the cherry sauce. In the same skillet (or a separate one), melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. (5 minutes)
06
StepAdd the pitted and halved black cherries to the skillet with the shallots. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the cherries to release some of their juices and soften slightly. (3 minutes)
07
StepPour in the beef broth and red wine, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with the crumbled dried rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste. (2 minutes)
08
StepReduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for about 8-10 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded together beautifully. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
09
StepOnce the pork chops are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. (5 minutes)
10
StepSpoon the luscious black cherry sauce generously over the rested pork chops. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful combination of savory and sweet.
