Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons optional chopped parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the Dijon mustard and red wine vinegar, letting the mixture simmer for 1 minute.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and add the thyme and rosemary. Stir well to combine the sauce.
Step 6
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top of the chops. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
Step 7
Uncover the skillet and let the sauce simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Transfer the pork chops to serving plates, spoon the sauce over the top, and garnish with optional chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
