1. Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3. Cook the pork chops in batches for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until browned and the thickest part reaches at least 145°F (63°C), then rest 3 minutes on a plate.

4. Lower the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the garlic, rosemary and red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds, stirring.

5. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and scrape up the browned bits from the pan.

6. Add the apple cider and simmer over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes, until reduced by about half and slightly syrupy.

7. Stir in the Dijon mustard and season the glaze with a little salt and pepper.

8. Return the pork chops and any juices to the pan, spoon the glaze over them, and simmer 2 minutes to heat through before serving.
