4 (1-inch thick, about 6 oz / 170g each) pork chops
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup apple cider
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

Step 1: Season 4 pork chops (1-inch thick) on both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook for 4 minutes per side, until golden and internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove chops and set aside.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium. Add 1/4 cup apple cider, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard to the skillet. Simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up browned bits. Whisk in 1 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute until glaze thickens.
Step 4: Return pork chops to skillet, coating in glaze. Cook for 1 minute more to heat through, then serve immediately.
