Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 2 bone-in pork chops (8 oz each) evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Add pork chops and sear without moving for 5 minutes until golden brown on the first side. Flip and sear the other side for 4 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove chops and rest on a plate.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and whisk together 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme in the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Step 4: Return pork chops to the skillet and spoon the mustard glaze over them to warm through for 1 minute. Serve immediately with pan sauce drizzled on top.
