Bourbon Mustard Glazed Pork Chops Recipes

BOURBON-MUSTARD GLAZED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven 400.
• Place large oven skillet over medium high heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the chops and sear until deep golden brown.
• When chops are seared, add 1 tablespoon olive oil along with the mustard, stock, honey and butter. When liquids come up to a bubble, pour bourbon into the skillet, remove from heat and carefully flame with a lighter. Or just continue boiling the sauce and the alcohol will cook away.
• Season the sauce with salt and pepper, and continue cooking until it starts to thicken, 2-3 minutes. Flip the chops over and transfer the entire pan to the oven to finish cooking, about 5 minutes.

PORK CHOPS WITH MUSTARD BOURBON SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, for about 1 minute or until the surface of the pan is uniformly hot. Pat the chops dry, and season the chops on one side with salt and pepper. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the chops seasoned side down and cook until the chops are brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the butter and cook for 1 minute more. Season the top side of the chops, and turn the chops over. Continue cooking until firm and an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees F, about 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer the chops to a plate, tent with foil and set aside to rest.
• Pour off any fat remaining in the skillet. Pull the pan from the heat and carefully add the bourbon. Return the pan to the heat and tip the pan slightly to ignite the alcohol. Cook until reduced by half then add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 3 minutes, then whisk in the mustard and the cream. Simmer the sauce until it coats the back of a spoon, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve with the pork chops.

BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine all brine ingredients in a large resealable plastic bag (I used a gallon size), or large airtight container. Whisk until combined well. Add pork chops to brine, seal bag or container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
• When using a bag, I like to place the bag inside a baking dish, so in case the bag leaks, you won't have a giant mess in your refrigerator, it'll be contained in the dish.
• Add all bourbon glaze ingredients to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over MED heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, reduce heat to LOW and simmer for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Mix slurry ingredients (cornstarch and water) in a small bowl, then add to bourbon glaze and cook another 1-2 minutes, until thickened.
• Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Remove pork from brine, rinse with cold water, and pat very dry. Discard brine.
• Season with 1/2 tsp EACH salt, pepper, smoked paprika and dried thyme.
• Add vegetable oil to large oven-safe skillet and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Once pan is hot, add seasoned pork chops and cook, without flipping or moving, for 2-3 minutes.
• Using tongs, flip pork chops over, and transfer skillet to the preheated oven.
• Bake 5 minutes, then flip pork chops back over, return to the oven and bake another 4 minutes, until pork is cooked to 145 F degrees (internal temperature).
• Remove pork chops to a plate, and cover loosely with foil. Leave to rest for 5 minutes.
• Brush or spoon a bit of sauce over the top of each pork chops, then serve with remaining sauce on the side.
