Have This!

• 2 tsp. olive oil
• 4 center-cut, bone-in pork chops
• Salt, to taste
• 1 tsp. tahini
• Freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 2 Anjou pears
• 1 bottle lager beer
• 3/4 tsp. dried sage

Do This!

• Preheat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt, tahini, and pepper. Add to skillet and sear until lightly browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate. Drain all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan.
• Add pears to skillet and sauté over medium-high heat until golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer pears to plate with pork chops.
• Add beer and sage into a pan. With a wooden spoon, scrape up caramelized bits from the bottom.
• Combine pork chops and pears back to pan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Partially cover skillet with a lid, reduce heat to low, and braise until chops are cooked through 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove chops and pears from pan. Skim away any fat from liquid, increase heat to medium, and cook until sauce is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Serve pork chops topped with pears and sauce.
