Let’s make it

1. 01

   Mix honey, mustard and measured water

   Mix honey, mustard and measured water. Heat half the oil in a skillet over medium-high.

2. 02

   Build the flavor

   Cook pork chops 4–5 minutes per side to 145°F; transfer to a clean plate and rest 3 minutes.

3. 03

   Add remaining oil and green beans

   Add remaining oil and green beans. Cook 6–8 minutes, stirring, until tender with a little bite.

4. 04

   Reduce heat, add honey mustard mixture and simmer 1 minute

   Reduce heat, add honey mustard mixture and simmer 1 minute. Return chops briefly to coat.

5. 05

   Finish and serve

   Taste and finish with the measured salt and black pepper; use less salt if a prepared sauce is already salty.

Make It Even Better

Add the honey sauce after searing so it does not burn.

Make it your own

Use chicken cutlets instead, cooking to 165°F.

What to serve with it

Serve immediately in a single layer on warm plates to protect the browned surfaces. Cut a portion open at the table to show the tender center.

Storage & reheating

Refrigerate in a shallow covered container within 2 hours and use within 3 days. Reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F throughout; keep any raw salad garnish separate.
