Pork Chops Dijonnaise

Pork is a popular entree at our house. Often I’ll take my favorite chicken dijon recipe and whip up Pork Chops Dijonnaise, with a creamy mustard sauce!

Pork Chops Dijonnaise

This is a riff on my mom’s Chicken Dijon, except I add a minced shallot and some grainy mustard to the mix. Using bone in pork chops is imperative for flavorful, juicier and even more tender meat. These chops are super easy to prepare making them perfect for weeknights, yet they are elegant and special enough to serve to company!

Tips for Making Pork Chops Dijon

• I like to get a thicker cut chop which minimizes the chance of them drying out while sauteing. When I was growing up, pork was much fattier, therefore our roasts and chops were rarely dry and always tasty!
• As mentioned above, bone in chops are definitely more flavorful, but you can use boneless, too, if that’s your preference.

• It’s also important not to overcook, so use your meat thermometer. Pork is now safe to eat when it reaches 145º according to the USDA, unless you’re cooking pork organ meats as those need to be cooked to 160º.
• If the hubby is grilling, I’ll often brine the chops to help infuse them with moisture. Even just an hour in a solution of water, salt and sugar works wonders.

A tasty pork version of the classic chicken Dijon!

• Author: Liz Berg
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins
• Total Time: 40 minutes
• Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 thick, bone in pork chops
• Seasoning salt (I used Montreal Steak Seasoning)
• 1/3 cup dry vermouth (can substitute white wine)
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons coarse, grainy mustard
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• salt and pepper, optional

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan. Add minced shallots and cook until tender. Add chops and brown on each side.
2. Lower heat and cook until internal temperature of pork chops is 140 degrees. Remove from pan and tent with foil.
3. Turn up heat and add vermouth. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in mustards, then heavy cream. Cook a minute or two until the sauce thickens. Taste sauce for seasoning. Add salt or pepper if desired.
4. Either add pork chops back into the pan and rewarm in sauce or serve chops with sauce poured over each individual portion.
