How to Make Pork Chops In Mustard Mushroom Sauce

  1. Mince the shallot. In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until they release their liquid and the liquid evaporates (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Pour in the white wine or vermouth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the liquid reduces to about 2 tablespoons (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the sauce slightly thickens (about 2 minutes).
  5. Stir in the Dijon mustard and keep the sauce warm over very low heat.
  6. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  7. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the pork chops and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  8. Divide the pork chops between two plates and spoon the creamy mustard mushroom sauce generously over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
