15 Minute Meal: Dijon Pork Chops
I have been a bit under the weather this week so not a lot of creativity going on over here. Does anyone else’s kids get sick and then take drinks from your water bottle when you aren’t looking or sneeze on your face when they are sick or just walk up and start talking really close?
I don’t think anyone’s immune system can ward that off…there was no avoiding it.
So here I am with this yucky cold, sore throat and now a headache from coughing. I haven’t exactly felt like cooking or doing anything really, but I found myself with a hungry family to feed last night, thawed out pork chops in the fridge and the desire to make something incredibly easy but no motivation to look anything up.
It was a ‘Let’s just get this done and over with’ kind of mentality.
So I started grabbing stuff and mixing it together, well the end result was so delicious I decided I had to share it with you! Especially since it was so incredibly easy and we all love easy.
The tricky thing about pork is making sure it is done but not to done, it gets so dry when you over cook a pork chop but unlike a steak, if you undercook things aren’t good there either. You really have to feel it, I usually poke at it with my tongs and if it still has some give to it but isn’t squishy I know it’s time to get it off the grill. Does that make sense?
- 6 medium cut pork chops
- ¼ cup dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon rubbed sage
- freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Preheat a grill or griddle to medium high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the mustard, sage, salt, pepper and olive oil.
- Divide the mixture between the pork chops and then rub all over each one on both sides.
- Grill the chops over medium high heat until you have some nice grill marks, about 3 minutes on each side (depending on how thick your chops are).
- Remove from griddle and let rest for about 5 minutes and serve.
