How To Make maple mustard pork chops

  • Step 1
    Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Mustard, salt, and pepper rubbed onto the pork chops.
    Step 2
    Combine 1 1/2 tsp of the mustard with the salt and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the pork chops.
  • Frying 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.
  • Baking the pork chops in the oven.
    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).
  • Vinegar poured into the skillet.
    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.
  • Mustard and syrup added to the vinegar.
    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.
  • Sauce thickening in the pan.
    Step 7
    When the pork is done baking, add any additional drippings into the maple/mustard mix. Allow to simmer again until slightly thickened.
  • Three Maple Mustard Pork Chops on a plate.
    Step 8
    Once the mixture is thickened, remove from the heat and serve over the pork.
