Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 1 inch thick) bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
When the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate; cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the maple syrup, prepared horseradish, apple cider vinegar, and fresh thyme leaves. Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them. Cook for another 2 minutes to coat the pork chops in the glaze and warm them through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the pork chops rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the pork chops with the glaze spooned on top. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
