Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Apple cider
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
Season the boneless pork chops on both sides with the salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low. Add the apple cider, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and thyme leaves. Stir well to combine.
Cook the glaze, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until it reduces slightly and thickens to a syrupy consistency.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, ensuring they are well coated with the glaze. Simmer for an additional 7-8 minutes, spooning the glaze over the chops occasionally, until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Turn off the heat and stir in the unsalted butter to add richness and shine to the glaze.
Serve the pork chops warm, drizzled with extra glaze from the skillet. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
