🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 0.25 cups pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while preparing the sauce.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and rosemary. Set aside.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside on a plate.

4. Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in the maple-mustard sauce.

5. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.

6. Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

7. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

8. Serve the pork chops drizzled with the maple-mustard sauce from the skillet. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
