Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create the glaze.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Sear the pork chops for 4–5 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip the chops and cook the other side for 4–5 minutes.
Brush a generous layer of the mustard glaze over the top of each pork chop. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize.
Check the internal temperature of the pork chops with a meat thermometer. It should read 145°F (63°C) for perfectly cooked pork.
Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to seal in the juices.
Serve the pork chops warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
