Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons optional chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the Dijon mustard and red wine vinegar, letting the mixture simmer for 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and add the thyme and rosemary. Stir well to combine the sauce.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top of the chops. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
Uncover the skillet and let the sauce simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the pork chops to serving plates, spoon the sauce over the top, and garnish with optional chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
