Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 pound fresh string beans
  • 2 boneless pork chops 1-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 scallions minced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 plum tomatoes diced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped basil plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Using a colander, rinse string beans, then toss damp beans in the flour mixture until lightly coated. Set the green beans aside and lightly coat the pork chops in the remaining flour mixture.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, saute garlic and scallion for 1 minute until fragrant. Add vinegar, tomatoes, and basil and stir to combine. Return pork chops to the skillet and bring the sauce to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 4-5 minutes or until pork is cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add string beans and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
  5. To serve: Place a pork chop on each plate and top with sauce. Garnish with basil. Serve with string beans.
