Spice-Seared Pork with Berry Sauce
4 servings
20 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 (14.5-oz) can beef broth
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries and/or raspberries (10–12 oz), divided
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese 5-spice powder
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 4 (¾-inch thick) boneless pork chops (1 ½ lb)
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic

Steps

    1. Combine broth and sugar in small saucepan; bring to a boil on medium-high to dissolve sugar. When boiling, stir in one-half of the berries.
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Combine flour, five-spice, and ½ teaspoon salt in bag; shake to combine. Place pork chops in bag; shake to coat.
    3. Place oil in pan. Remove pork from bag, shake off excess flour, and add pork to pan. Cook 3–4 minutes on each side or until 145°F.
    4. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into berry sauce, along with pepper, garlic, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Bring to boil; cook and stir 5 minutes or until berries soften and begin to release their juices. Stir remaining berries into sauce and serve over pork chops.
