Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove chops from skillet and set aside.
