Critical Success Points

  • Sear the fat cap first to render flavor and achieve a crust.
  • Wait for butter to fully foam before beginning to baste.
  • Reduce orange juice and balsamic vinegar to the proper thickness.
  • Rest the pork chops for half the cooking time to retain juices.

Safety Warnings

  • Pan will be extremely hot; use oven mitts.
  • Hot oil and butter can splatter—keep face away.
  • Butter foams and may pop; watch closely.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C).
