Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless pork chops , (4 total about 1” thick)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium red onion , cut into 2” thick wedges
- 4 cloves garlic , minced or pressed
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 2 medium Honeycrisp apples
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons stoneground grainy mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Season both sides of the pork chops with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. To a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high. Cook the pork chops for 4 minutes, undisturbed, until golden brown. Flip the chops and cook for 3 minutes or until the chops register 145°F with a meat thermometer. Remove from the skillet, cover with foil to keep warm, and allow the juices to redistribute.
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, thyme, and apples, stirring, and cook for another minute. Add vinegar and 4 tablespoons water, stirring to scrape up any bits from the pan. Add Dijon mustard, stoneground mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes for the apples to soften and reduce the sauce.
- Add the pork chops back to the skillet, nestling them into the apples and onions. Cover and cook to warm the pork chops through, about 2 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Serve the chops topped with the apples and onions, and sprinkle with more fresh thyme leaves. Serve with rice or small pasta like orzo.
