How To Make mustard rubbed pork chops with garlic mustard sauce

Step 1

Grind the mustard seed, peppercorns, and salt in a spice grinder. Mix in the ground mustard and rub it on both sides of the chops. Set aside for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Mix the baking sauce ingredients and set aside.
Step 3

To make the garlic mustard sauce, add a little oil to a saucepan. Add the shallots, tarragon, garlic, tarragon vinegar, and apple juice. Cook until almost all the liquid evaporates; set aside.
Step 4

Melt the butter until it's hot. Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, and both mustards in a food processor. Process for 10 seconds, then stream in the hot butter and process until thick.
Step 5

Taste and adjust for salt. Add the shallot mixture and set aside, and keep warm.
Step 6

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Get a cast iron pan nice and hot and add a little oil. Sear the chops about 2 1/2 minutes each side.
Step 7

Transfer the chops to a baking dish and pour the baking sauce over the chops.
Step 8

Place in the oven for another 5 minutes, basting with the sauce.
Step 9

Remove the chops from the oven and let them rest 10 minutes. Serve with the sauce.
