Description

These Smoky Honey Mustard Pork Chops are RIDICULOUSLY fast, easy, and so delicious! They use just a handful of pantry ingredients to make a protein-packed dinner.

Ingredients

4 4-6 ounce boneless pork loin or sirloin chops

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Liquid Smoke

3 tablespoons Dijon or whole grain mustard

1 1/2 tablespoons honey

2-3 cloves minced garlic

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

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 to medium-high heat. Combine honey, garlic, and mustard. Place pork chops on broiler pan/grill and cook for 4 minutes (if grilling, reduce heat to medium). Turn and cook another 4 minutes or until an internal temperature reaches 160 F–you don’t want to overcook them because they’ll become tough.

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.

Serve with your favorite potatoes–baked, or these stovetop mashed potatoes are fantastic and easy! They’re also delicious with a tossed green salad, Garlic Balsamic Asparagus, or broccoli salad.

I love this recipe because it comes together in just a few minutes with (aside from the pork chops) things I always have in my pantry! Once upon a time, pork was often overlooked because it had a reputation for being fatty, but times have changed. Pork sirloin and tenderloin is EXTREMELY lean–often more so than chicken breasts–and is an excellent, flavorful source of protein. I like buying a big pork sirloin roast, cutting it into thirds, and then freezing them. After they’ve thawed a bit, I’ll slice the thickest portion into slices (about 1 inch thick or so) for pork chops and save the ends for something in the crockpot (BBQ pork sandwiches, Kalua pork, pork for tacos, you get the picture…)

This recipe is a summer favorite of mine on the grill, but it’s awesome all year. One great thing is that you can broil these in your oven and they turn out just as well (if not better!) than they do on the grill. Just line your broiling pan with foil before you cook the pork chops so you don’t have murderous thoughts whilst scraping broiled honey mustard off the bottom of the pan later that night.
