Costolette di maiale cremose al ranch

Ingredienti

• 6 thick cut boneless pork chops (Note 1)
• 8 ounces full fat cream cheese (softened and cut into 8 pieces)
• 8 tablespoons salted butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons ranch seasoning
• sea salt (apply liberally)
• ground black pepper (apply liberally)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Start by patting your chops dry and sprinkling them very liberally with salt and pepper. Season liberally as both salt and pepper are absent from the sauce. (Note 1)

2. 2

   In a large skillet, heat 8 tbsp of the butter over medium high heat until melted.

3. 3

   Sear each chop for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. When you've achieved a satisfactory golden brown crisping, turn the pork chops over and sear the other side as well. Note X

4. 4

   When the pork chops reach around 135°F or 57 °C degrees they are done. Remove and let these golden pork chops rest while you continue. Reduce heat to medium.

5. 5

   Pour in chicken broth to deglaze pan. Scrape the pan to get all of the yummy browned bits.

6. 6

   Add cream cheese, and heavy cream and stir continuously until smooth.

7. 7

   Add homemade ranch seasoning and stir until combined.

8. 8

   Reduce heat to low, add chops back into pan and cover. Simmer for 10 minutes or until chops reach an internal temp of at least 145 degrees F.
