4 servings
30 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pecan pieces
  • Large zip-top bag
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4 thick-cut, bone-in pork chops (about 2 lb)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon (or honey) mustard
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps

    1. Place pecans in zip-top bag, seal bag, and crush pecans into fine crumbs. Add cornstarch to bag, seal, and shake to blend.
    2. Season pork with salt and pepper; then coat both sides with mustard. Add 1 pork chop to bag, seal, and shake to coat, pressing with fingertips to evenly adhere. Remove from bag, shaking off any excess. Repeat with remaining pork chops (wash hands).
    3. Preheat large sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Place butter and oil in pan, then add pork; cook 4–5 minutes on each side until 145°F. Let stand 5 minutes to rest; serve.

If fruits and vegetables are part of this recipe, be sure to wash thoroughly.
