Directions:  
To prepare brine: Combine sea salt, sugar, thyme, garlic, pepper, and 4 cups of water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and allow salt and sugar to dissolve. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Place the pork chops in a container with a lid. Pour the cooled brine over the chops, cover, and refrigerate at least one hour, or up to 24.

When ready to cook: Remove the pork chops from the brine and pat them dry. Heat a heavy pan over high heat. When hot, add the oil. When the oil is sizzling, add the pork chops (don’t let them touch in the pan) and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the bottom is nicely browned, then flip and cook for another 10 minutes or until center is no longer pink and internal temperature of at least 150. Transfer the chops to a 200-degree oven to keep warm.

Pour off any fat and return pan to the stove. melt half the butter and sautee the shallot until softened. Add the vinegar. It will very quickly come to a boil – allow to boil about 1 minute or until reduced by about half. Add the stock and 1/4 cup water, raise heat to high, and cook until reduced by about half. Reduce heat to low and stir in the remaining butter. Add the pork chops back to the pan, and cook for a minute on each side. Transfer chops to a serving plate and spoon remaining sauce over the top.
