Recipes Main Courses
Pork loin tends to dry out as it's lean. Here, short cooking and creamy mustard sauce guarantee juiciness. Mustard acidity tenderizes fibers, while cream fat coats them. A bistro classic ready in minutes at home.

Instructions

1 ✓

Pound chops thin, season with salt and pepper.

Tip: Pounding breaks fibers for tenderness and even cooking.
2 ✓

Sear in hot oil (3 mins/side) until crusted. Remove.

Tip: Don't crowd pan. Crust (Maillard) gives flavor.
3 ✓

Sauté chopped onion and garlic in pan drippings.

Tip: Onion absorbs tasty browned bits.
4 ✓

Stir in mustard, then cream. Simmer.

Tip: Taste it! Mustard saltiness varies.
5 ✓

Return pork (and juices) to sauce. Simmer 5-10 mins until sauce thickens and meat is tender.

Tip: Add water if too thick.
