Maple Mustard Pork Chops image

Lindsay is right. These pork chops are so easy and so delicious. Sweet and sour, they turn out tender and juicy. They're easy enough for a weeknight meal, but fancy enough for Sunday dinner with the family. If you like pork chops, this recipe needs to be in your dinner rotation.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 boneless pork chops
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tsp plus 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp dried sage
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
canola oil, for searing
fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 400.
  • 2. Combine 1 1/2 tsp of mustard with salt and pepper. Rub evenly over pork chops.
  • 3. Heat enough oil in a large skillet to lightly cover the bottom of your pan (~ 2 - 3 Tbsp). When oil is hot, gently sear pork until lightly brown on the outside (~ 1 min each side).
  • 4. Move pork to a baking dish and bake for 10 - 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chops (or the time could be less if using thin chops).
  • 5. While pork is baking, heat vinegar in the same skillet you just seared pork in. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • 6. Whisk in mustard and syrup. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Stir in dried sage.
  • 7. When pork is done baking, place any additional drippings into the maple/mustard mix. Allow to simmer again until slightly thickened.
  • 8. Once mixture is thickened, remove from heat and serve over pork.
