Pan-Seared Miso Butter Pork Chops with Sautéed Broccoli and Apples

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white miso paste
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, (at room temperature)
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, (divided)
• 1 head broccoli, (cut into florets)
• 1 medium shallot, (thinly sliced)
• 1 medium Honeycrisp apples
• 2 bone-in pork loin center cut chops (about 1" thick)
• Kosher salt, (as needed)
• Freshly ground black pepper, (as needed)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, stir the miso paste and butter until combined. Set aside.

2. 2

   Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of the oil and heat through. Add the broccoli and sauté, occasionally stirring, until tender and bright green, about 4 to 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the shallots and apples and continue to sauté until the shallots are tender and no longer opaque and the apples are slightly soft, about an additional 4 minutes. Remove to a bowl, then cover and set aside.

4. 4

   Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Return the pan to heat, add the remaining oil, and cook until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes on each side.

5. 5

   Top with the miso butter, allowing it to melt. Return the broccoli and apple mixture to the pan, tossing to combine. Serve immediately.
