    I copied Frank's approach with the pan sauce but tried it with a few alternative ingredients. Started with the shallots, then threw in some IPA to deglaze. Next, added the cream (I used half & half) and the butter. Then threw in some shitake mushroom powder & chipotles (split, de-seaded, and soaked in a little water ahead of time) and finished with fresh lemon thyme + S&P.
    Same bubbling approach to know it's finished.
    It was probs the most incredible sauce i've ever made and took the pork chop to the stratosphere.

    I modified the recipe. Used dry rosemary instead of thyme and also added dry organo and dry piquine chili peppers and sriracha seasoning. It was fantastic! I did not make the sauce. Once basting of pork chop was done, i removed removed a bit of the oil/butter and threw in steamed white rice into the pan to soak up the flavors and i scrapped the pan to get some of those delicious browned spices. Ate this with some Italian red wine - Amarone Della Valpolicella. Like I said, FANTASTIC!!! Thank you!

    I just tried this out with some much thinner chops. Still worked very well with this recipe but had to scale some stuff back accordingly.
    The sauce was excellent despite only having an alcohol of choice, thyme, and cheap mustard (along with the chicken stock and heavy cream). I also added a bit too much oil for the sauce because I didn't account for the lack of onion/shallots.

      I personally recommend dry brining before cooking it. Season with salt on all sides, rest on a wire rack and baking sheet in the fridge and leave it for at least an hour, up to overnight. You can turn it every so often to make sure the moisture drips out into the bottom of the tray. I always do this with thick cut steaks and porkchops and it really improves the texture, flavor, and the sear.

    Wow. I try to follow a recipe as closely as possible the first time through but I had to substitute Madeira for the brandy and I totally forgot to add the mustard and cream to the sauce. I had no chicken stock so I used apple juice and a dollop of Better Than Boullion. Still, this was the best pork chop I've ever eaten. The pan sauce was amazing.

    Chef, this looks excellent. Any advice on how to scale up? How do I make this for five people (or whatever) and have it all come together at once?

    Thumbs up because it is the technique. Anyone can follow a recipe for better or for worse.

    I didn’t have apple brandy so I diced an apple and soaked it in brandy, and lit it up. Worked nicely and had little mushy chunks of apple in the sauce.
