maple mustard pork chops

How To Make maple mustard pork chops

• Step 1
  Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• 
  Step 2
  Combine 1 1/2 tsp of the mustard with the salt and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the pork chops.
• 
  Step 3
  Heat enough oil in a large skillet to lightly cover the bottom of your pan (about 2 – 3 Tbsp). When the oil is hot, gently sear the pork until lightly brown on the outside, about 1 minute on each side.
• 
  Step 4
  Transfer the pork to a baking dish and bake for 10 – 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chops (the time might be even less if using thin chops).
• 
  Step 5
  While the pork is baking, heat the vinegar in the same skillet the pork was seared in. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• 
  Step 6
  Whisk in the remaining 2 Tbsp mustard and the syrup. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir in the dried sage.
• 
  Step 7
  When the pork is done baking, add any additional drippings into the maple/mustard mix. Allow to simmer again until slightly thickened.
• 
  Step 8
  Once the mixture is thickened, remove from the heat and serve over the pork.
