Instructions

1. Prepare the Pork Chops:

2. Cook the Pork Chops:

  • Heat the oil in a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron is excellent) over medium-high heat.

  • Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown.

  • Note: If your chops are thick, you may need to finish them in a preheated oven at for 5-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches .

  • Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, tented loosely with foil to keep warm.

3. Make the Cream Sauce:

  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet (using the pork drippings).

  • If using, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.

  • Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth, then add the heavy cream.

  • Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, and let it cook until it thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).

  • Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the cup of Dijon mustard.

  • Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Combine and Serve:
