Ingredients

For the Pork Tomahawks

• 2 x pork tomahawk chops
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter

For the Honey Mustard Glaze

• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• Fresh thyme, for garnish (optional)

Method

Prepare the Pork Chops

• Pat the pork tomahawks dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

Sear the Chops

• In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork tomahawk chops and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
• Add the butter to the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the chops to add flavor and moisture.

Make the Honey Mustard Glaze

• While the chops are searing, mix the Dijon mustard, honey, whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and smoked paprika in a small bowl until well combined.

Add the Glaze and Finish in the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the pork chops, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
• Roast for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches about 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. You can cook them longer if you prefer them more well done.
• If you're cooking in the field, add a lid to the skillet and gently apply the mustard dressing to the chops with a brush. Being mindful to caramelise and not burn the glaze.

Rest and Serve

• Remove the pork tomahawks from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired, and serve.

These honey mustard pork tomahawks are fantastic with roasted potatoes, a fresh salad, or sautéed greens.
