Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 3 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 tsp garlic powder until smooth and set aside.
Step 2: Pat 4 bone-in pork chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush both sides of the pork chops with 2 tbsp olive oil.
Step 4: Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 4 minutes per side, brushing generously with the mustard glaze after flipping, until internal temperature reaches 145°F and the glaze is caramelized.
Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
