The BEST pork chop recipe I have found in a long time!! We just had this for dinner tonight and everyone loved it! Relatively fast and easy. Found this on ourbestbites.com -- they always have such great recipes.
The only problem I encountered was when I was broiling them, I checked the temperature after the recommended time (8-10 mins) and they were far from being hot enough (165 degrees) so I ended up adding about 15 minutes (in smaller increments of time) until they were finished. I would highly recommend slicing your pork chops thinner (1" thick at most) to avoid this problem.
Smoky Honey Mustard Pork Chops
4 4-6 oz. pork loin or sirloin chops
Kosher salt and pepper
Liquid Smoke
3 Tbsp. Dijon or whole grain mustard
1 1/2 Tbsp. honey
2 cloves minced garlic
Sprinkle pork chops with Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Give them a liberal dousing of liquid smoke (you can usually find this either near the seasonings or the BBQ sauce/condiments in the grocery store). Set aside.
Heat oven broiler to high or preheat grill. Combine honey, garlic, and mustard. Place pork chops on broiler pan/grill and cook for 4-5 minutes. Turn and cook another 4-5 minutes. You want the internal temperature to be at least 165 (that’s a little pink inside), but you also don’t want to overcook them because they’ll become tough. So you may need to adjust your cooking times a little, bearing in mind that they have two minutes to cook after the initial 8-10 minutes.
Baste with honey mustard mixture and cook an additional minute. Turn and baste other side; cook for one additional minute. Remove from heat and allow to stand a few minutes to seal in the juices.
