Dinner · 25 min · Serves 4 · Easy · Best with Dark Robust maple syrup

Juicy pan-seared pork chops with a sticky maple-mustard glaze. A weeknight dinner that tastes like a weekend.

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
• 3 tbsp pure maple syrup (Dark Robust)
• 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Fresh thyme for garnish

Method

1. Pat pork chops dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Sear pork chops 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
4. While chops sear, whisk together maple syrup, both mustards, garlic, and vinegar.
5. Pour glaze over the chops. Reduce heat to medium and cook 2–3 minutes, spooning sauce over the meat.
6. Transfer skillet to a 400°F oven for 5–7 minutes until chops reach 145°F internal temp.
7. Rest 5 minutes before serving. Spoon pan sauce over the top and garnish with fresh thyme.
