The secret to a satisfying golden sear on pork chops, like all other proteins, is a hot skillet and patience. Add the chops to the glistening oil and resist the urge to peek. After a few undisturbed minutes on both sides, the pork chops will be cooked through and have the highly-sought golden-brown crust. Then a quick sauce made with white wine vinegar, honey, whole-grain mustard, and rosemary simmers on the stove along with root veggies for an aromatic side and a spoon-over glaze that elevates this hearty dinner. Ingredients 4 pork chops 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt 3 tbsp olive oil 5 carrots, peeled and cut into 3/4-in. pieces 3 medium turnips or parsnips, peeled and cut into 3/4-in. pieces 1/2 cup white wine vinegar 2 tbsp honey 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard 1 tsp whole-grain mustard 1 sprig rosemary, plus chopped fresh rosemary for topping Directions Sprinkle both sides of pork chops with pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add pork chops; sear until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part reads 145°F, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in skillet. Add carrots, turnips, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are browned in spots and bright in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Add vinegar, honey, mustard, rosemary sprig, and 1/2 cup water; stir until just combined and simmering, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water halfway through if sauce starts to reduce and darken. Discard rosemary sprig. Transfer pork chops and vegetables to plates and spoon sauce on top. Garnish with chopped rosemary.
