Instant Pot Pork Chops In A Dijon Pan Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine salt, pepper, and thyme in a small bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture over both sides of the pork chops, rubbing in and pressing down.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add olive oil and when hot, add pork chops and brown for 3 minutes per side. Remove chops and set aside. Pour in wine and chicken stock. Stir and deglaze the bottom of the pan and allow the liquid to slightly reduce and the alcohol to cook off, about 3 minutes. Turn off Saute function.
• Add chops back to the pot, close and lock the lid, and set the pressure valve to sealing. Select Manual high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions, and set the timer for 5 minutes, allowing 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove pork chops to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Turn on Saute function. Cook for about 1 minute to reduce liquid; stir in Dijon mustard and garlic powder. Gradually stir in butter until well incorporated, about 3 minutes. Add pork chops back to the pot, coating with the sauce.
• Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.

Steps:

• Melt butter in the oil in a large deep skillet over high heat. Season chops with salt and pepper and add them, browning well, about 2 or 3 minutes a side, reducing the heat slightly if chops brown too quickly.
• Remove chops to a platter and pour off most of the fat. Add green onions or shallots and cook over medium-high heat until softened, about 1 minute. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping brown bits off the bottom. Stir in the stock and return chops to the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer, cover and cook until chops are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the chops to a warm platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Raise the heat and boil pan juices to reduce by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream and boil 2 minutes more, until sauce reduces a bit and thickens. Remove from the heat and whisk in mustard and the parsley, if using. Taste and add more mustard if desired. Immediately spoon sauce over the chops and serve.
