Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 2 bone-in pork chops with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked to 145°F internal temperature. Remove chops and tent with foil.
  2. Step 2: Reduce heat to medium and add 1/2 cup apple cider to the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Stir in 1 tbsp Dijon mustard and simmer for 4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Step 3: Whisk in 1 tbsp unsalted butter until melted and glossy. Remove sauce from heat.
  4. Step 4: In a separate pan, heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 10 oz trimmed green beans, sautéing for 5-6 minutes until tender-crisp and fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Plate pork chops with green beans and drizzle the apple cider reduction over the chops before serving.
