Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 pork chops
Sauce Components:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grab a medium mixing bowl and combine ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon paprika.
- Whisk the ingredients together until the sauce becomes completely smooth and well-blended.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Select 2-3 thick-cut pork chops and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to 425°F with a light coating of vegetable oil.
- Place the seasoned pork chops directly on the hot cooking surface.
- Grill or sear each side for 4-5 minutes, creating a golden-brown crust.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer, ensuring it reaches 145°F.
- Remove the pork chops from heat and let them rest for 3-4 minutes to seal in juices.
- Drizzle the prepared sauce over the chops or serve it on the side as a dipping condiment.
Notes
- Marinate the pork chops for at least 2 hours to ensure deep flavor penetration and maximum tenderness.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature and avoid overcooking, which can make the chops tough and dry.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular soy sauce with tamari and ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
- If you don’t have a grill, a cast-iron skillet works perfectly for achieving a delicious sear and keeping the meat juicy.
