Method

Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook without moving for 4-5 minutes until golden.
Flip and cook another 4-5 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove to a plate and tent with foil.
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and shallots to the same pan. Cook until softened, 2 minutes.
Pour in apple cider and stock. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a boil.
Cook until reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Stir in mustard and thyme.
Return pork chops and any resting juices to the pan. Spoon sauce over chops and serve.
