Honey Mustard Pork Chops

Written By Samuel Ruble

YOU WILL NEED

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops about 1-inch thick, ~6 oz each

• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

• ⅓ cup Dijon mustard

• ¼ cup honey

• 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard - optional, for texture

• 2 cloves garlic minced

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• Salt and black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

• Prepare sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, whole grain mustard, garlic, vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.

• Season pork: Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.

• Sear chops: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.

• Glaze & cook through: Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the pork chops. Simmer 5–7 minutes, turning once, until chops are cooked to 145°F (63°C) internal temperature and sauce thickens slightly.

• Rest & serve: Remove pork from skillet and let rest 3 minutes. Spoon sauce over the top and serve warm.
