Pork Chops With Dijon Glaze Recipes

HOISIN-GLAZED PORK CHOPS WITH DIJON DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the pork and marinade: Place the pork chops in a 1- gallon resealable plastic bag. Combine the remaining marinade ingredients (except for the neutral oil) in a mini food processor and process until incorporated, or whisk together in a medium bowl. This will be your marinade and glaze.
• Coat the pork chops liberally with the marinade and marinate for 3 hours and up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Prepare a grill by heating one side to high and the other to low. Alternatively, heat a large grill pan over 2 burners -- one on high heat and the other turned off. Clean and grease the grates.
• Remove the chops from the bag and reserve the marinade for basting. Blot the chops with paper towels, then grill, undisturbed, until you have a great grill mark on each chop, 4 to 6 minutes. Baste with the reserved marinade then rotate a quarter turn and grill until you have a nice crosshatch mark, another 4 to 6 minutes. Flip over and repeat the grilling, basting and turning.
• Start to take an internal temperature after both sides are grilled and basted. If you don't hit 165 degrees F, move the pork chop to the cooler side and cover to create a convection oven. The pork is ready when it registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the mustard sauce: Stir together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water, if needed, to thin the sauce.
• Drizzle the mustard sauce over the pork chops or serve on the side for dipping.

HONEY-DIJON PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
• Mix Dijon mustard, honey, black pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Arrange pork chops in prepared baking dish and pour mustard mixture over pork.
• Bake in preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

PORK CHOPS WITH DIJON GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat the EVOO in a small pot over medium to medium-high heat. Add the garlic, shallots and lemon zest and season with a little salt and lots of pepper. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, then add the sherry and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and honey and simmer until reduced, 15 minutes. Stir in the mustard and tarragon, then remove the glaze from the heat.
• Heat a grill pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
• Coat the pork chops with EVOO and season liberally with salt and pepper. Grill the chops, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes, basting liberally with the glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

PORK CHOPS WITH JAMMY-MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup water, the preserves and the mustard. Set near the stove. Pat the pork chops dry, and season all over with salt and pepper.
• In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the pork chops and cook, occasionally pressing down to make good contact with the skillet, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, flip the chops and cook until opaque on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the jam-mustard mixture, turn off the heat, and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the chops to plates, then return the skillet to medium-low heat and simmer, scraping up browned bits, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Every jam is different, so if it's too sweet, add more mustard, salt or black pepper; if it's too salty, add a little more jam; if it's too intense or thick, add a little more water; if it's flat, add salt. Spoon sauce over the pork chops.
