Ingredients
- 4 Boneless Pork Chops
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 tbsp. Butter
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- ½ C. Pure Maple Syrup
- 1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard
- ⅓ C. Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 tbsp. Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp. Fresh Thyme Optional
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides of each chop with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, soy sauce, thyme and set aside.
- Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron, but a regular frying pan works too) over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil. When the butter is melted and sizzling, add the chops and cook on the first side until well browned, 4-5 minutes.
- Turn chops and sear for about 1 minute. Add maple syrup mixture to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook chops for an additional 5 minutes or so, until cooked through but still pink. Remove the chops to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- Continue to cook the glaze until slightly reduced and thickened to a syrupy consistency, add the juices from the resting chops, about 3 or 4 minutes.
- Pour the glaze over the chops and serve.
