Add the chops and cook until browned and crusty, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare (or 4-5 minutes for medium). Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.

Pour the 0.5 cup red wine into the hot skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes, then whisk in the remaining 1 tbsp butter until the sauce is glossy.
