Balsamic Roasted Pork Chops

shared by Patty H. (I was looking for something to use my Montreal Steak Seasoning on and this was the perfect recipe for that.  I even had balsamic vinegar in the cabinet without having to go buy some.  It turned out to be very tasty.)


Ingredients:
2-3 lbs. boneless center-cut pork chops
1 packet McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning (0.71 oz.) (Note:  I had a jar, not a packet so I used a teaspoon which didn't make it too spicy.  You could use more, depending on taste.)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil


Directions:

1. Mix the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and seasoning together and pour into a 9 x 13 glass casserole dish.
2. Place the pork chops in the dish, turning them to be sure they are coated well with the marinade.
3. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
4. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
5. Remove plastic wrap and bake for 1 hour, turning the pork chops over 1/2 way through the baking time.
6. Remove pork chops to a serving platter and pour the marinade into a small saucepan on medium heat.
7. Mix together 2 T. dry red wine (or water) and 2 T. cornstarch.  Add to the pan sauce.
8. Simmer and stir until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
9. Pour thickened sauce over pork chops and serve warm.

I didn't fix the sauce.  We ate the pork chops with just the seasonings and they were tender and tasty.
