Honey Mustard Pork Chops (Grill or Stovetop)
These Honey Mustard Grilled Pork Chops are tender, tangy, sweet, and savory all at once. Ttopped with a tangy sweet sauce.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ cup pure honey
- 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard, with seeds in it
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 pork chops, bone-in*, 1-inch thickness, 8-10 oz each
Instructions
- In a saucepan, whisk together the vinegar and cornstarch until fully dissolved and no white bits of cornstarch remain. Add honey, mustard, onion powder, cayenne, and brown sugar. Whisk to combine, simmer over medium heat and continue whisking until glaze is reduced a bit, 5 minutes. Divide and reserve half of the glaze for serving. Keep other half of glaze for basting.
- Pat chops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 tsp kosher salt with 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle chops evenly with salt/pepper combination.
- Grease grill (or skillet) and preheat on medium-high. Cook chops about 3-4 min per side, or just until center is cooked. Don't over cook. Brush chops with glaze that was reserved for basting and cook another minute per side.
- Serve with reserved glaze drizzled over cooked chops.
Notes
- You can use boneless pork chops as well, but plan on cooking for less time if using boneless.
- Prep Ahead: Whisk and simmer the honey mustard glaze up to 3 days in advance. Store in a sealed jar in the fridge, then warm slightly before basting.
- Storage: Store leftover cooked pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve pork chops with Peach Caprese Salad or Caprese Pasta Salad with Basil Pesto for an easy meal.
