Ingredients
4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove chops to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium. Add brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to the skillet. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture bubbles, about 1 minute.
Add butter and stir until melted. Return pork chops to skillet, turning to coat with glaze. Cook for 2 minutes, basting occasionally, until glaze thickens and chops are cooked through (internal temperature 145°F).
Serve pork chops with glaze spooned over the top.
Tips
Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving for juicier meat.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
