Apple Cider Glazed Pork Chops

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon Canola oil
  • salt and pepper
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cups apple cider
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Make the glaze:
  2. In a skillet set over medium heat, melt the butter and add garlic until fragrant but not quite browned. Add Worcestershire, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until combined. Stir in apple cider and bring to a boil. Continue boiling gently until mixture has reduced by half and thickened slightly, stirring frequently. This takes about 20 minutes. (Sauce will thicken a bit more as it cools.)
  3. While the glaze is reducing, cook the pork chops:
  4. Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
  5. Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon Canola oil.
  6. Grill pork chops until browned on both sides and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  7. Place cooked pork chops on a plate covered with foil and set aside until glaze is ready.
  8. Once glaze has reduced and thickened, taste and season with salt and pepper. (Do not season with salt before reducing because it may result in an overly salty glaze.) Add cooked pork chops to the skillet and turn to coat.
  9. Serve immediately.
