For an even richer flavor, consider using bone-in pork chops. Adjust cooking time accordingly. If you're sensitive to salt, start with a smaller amount and adjust to taste after the gravy has thickened. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and sautéed apple slices for a complete and satisfying meal. For a deeper flavor, try using red wine vinegar instead of white wine vinegar.

These pork chops, simmered to succulent tenderness in a tangy vinegar reduction, are elevated by a rich, umami-packed gravy. The unexpected addition of anchovies provides a savory depth that perfectly complements the sweetness of the pork. A delightful symphony of flavors awaits!

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Pork: Gently pound the pork chops to an even ¼-inch thickness to ensure even cooking.
02
Step
8 mins
Sear the Pork: In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside. Drain off any excess fat from the skillet.
03
Step
35 mins
Simmer in Vinegar: Pour the white wine vinegar and water into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, return the pork chops to the skillet, cover, and cook until the chops are tender and cooked through, approximately 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 145°F (63°C).
04
Step
5 mins
Create the Anchovy Roux: While the pork chops are simmering, mash the chopped anchovy fillets in a small bowl with 2 teaspoons of softened butter and flour until a smooth paste forms.
05
Step
7 mins
Develop the Gravy: Transfer the cooked pork chops to a serving platter and keep warm. Return the skillet with the cooking juices to medium heat. Whisk the anchovy paste into the simmering cooking juices. Cook and stir continuously until the gravy has thickened slightly and the flour is no longer grainy, about 3-4 minutes.
06
Step
2 mins
Serve: Pour the luscious anchovy gravy generously over the pork chops. Serve immediately.
