Description
Simple recipe for pork chops coated in a sweet maple glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chops from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, combine the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Cook the glaze until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the glaze over the chops.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving with extra glaze from the pan.
Notes
- You can substitute brown sugar for a portion of the maple syrup if you prefer a less sweet glaze.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness accurately.
