Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium (finely chopped) shallot
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C) and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Brush both sides of the pork chops with olive oil and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the chops from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes while you prepare the sauce.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, reducing slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low and whisk in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Serve the grilled pork chops hot, drizzled generously with the Dijon cream sauce. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
