Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces bone-in beef chops 1-inch thick, about 8 oz each
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for cooking
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup salt for optional brining
  • 1/4 cup sugar for optional brining
  • 4 cups water for optional brining

Method
 

  1. Prepare the brine by combining salt and sugar in water until dissolved. Submerge the beef chops in this mixture and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Remove beef chops from the brine and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder. Simmer until reduced by about one-third, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Sear the beef chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, brush each chop with glaze, and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top before serving.
