These succulent honey mustard pork chops are seared and then baked in the oven with a bold sauce until perfectly cooked... and all in around 30 minutes.
Mix together the honey, cider vinegar and both types of mustard in a mixing bowl.
Rub the pork chops with the oil and season them with the salt.
Heat a 28cm or 12" oven-proof frying pan or skillet over a medium-high heat, and when the pan is hot, sear the fat of the pork, then sear the presentation side.
Flip the pork, add the fresh thyme and butter.
When the butter begins to foam, add the honey and mustard sauce and bring it to the boil, basting the pork with it.
Once the sauce is boiling, transfer the pan to the oven at 180°C or 350°F and cook for 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 57-58°C or 135-135°F. Remove the pork from the pan, cover it with foil and rest for 5 minutes. The internal temperature of the pork will rise to 63°C or 145°F during the resting time.
Return the pan to a low heat and whisk the sauce for a couple of minutes to bring the sauce back together before serving the pork chop and the sauce.
