Ingredients
- 1 pork chop (4-ounce, boneless, about 3/4-inch thick)
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 cup instant mashed potato flakes
- 0.75 cup water
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup green beans (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Season the pork chop with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic to create the honey-mustard sauce. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chop and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
- While the pork cooks, prepare the mashed potatoes: bring 3/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat, stir in 1/4 cup milk, 1 tablespoon butter, and the instant mashed potato flakes until smooth. Season to taste.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup green beans with 1 tablespoon water. Cover and microwave for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
- Once the pork is cooked, pour the reserved honey-mustard sauce over the pork chop in the skillet. Simmer for 1 minute, flipping the pork once to coat evenly.
- Serve the pork medallions with the honey-mustard sauce, alongside the instant mashed potatoes and steamed green beans.
