   • Sear the chops for about 10 minutes, or until they develop a beautiful golden brown crust on both sides. This step locks in the juices and ensures a flavorful result.

7. Simmer to Perfection:

   • Heat everything to a gentle boil. Once it’s bubbling away, cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
