Pork with Mustard Sauce: Simple, Quick, and Delicious



If you’re anything like the Four State Food Critic, time is of the essence in the evenings.  Shuttling kids to school events, meetings, music lessons, and other social activities leaves little time to prepare dinner.  Today I’ve got an easy and excellent main dish that only takes about 20 minutes from start to finish, so there’s no excuse for not having a nice home-cooked meal.

Pork with Mustard Sauce


  • 4 thin (½ inch or less) center cut boneless pork chops
  • 1 cup fat free or 2% milk
  • 4 tablespoons Dijon Mustard (or Spicy Brown)
  • 6 green onions, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking Spray

Salt and pepper the chops.  Heat a pan over medium-high heat.  Coat with cooking spray and add pork to the pan, cooking about 3-4 minutes each side or until browned.  Remove pork from the pan  and set aside (cover to keep warm).  Reduce the heat to low, add in milk, and stir constantly to scrape and loosen the brown bits in the pan (de-glazing).  Stir in the mustard and green onions and mix well, incorporating all of the flavors.  Return the pork to the pan; cover and cook for 2 minutes, turning to coat with the sauce.

Serve these over polenta or grits, taking a spoon and adding a nice dollop of the sauce over the pork.  This also goes well with a steamed green vegetable, like green bean or broccoli.

The creaminess of the sauce has a nice tang provided by the Dijon mustard.  Everyone in our house loves this dish, and the FSFC thinks you will as well.  Give it a try!
