Maple syrup and mustard are fantastic flavor buddies for a pork chop; one is thick and sweet, the other thick and feisty, and together full-bodied and alive with deliciousness. It's buttery good on the pork chop, sneaking into all the crevices and turning into a dipping pool on the plate. You could even dip the side in it! There are no rules at dinner.

If using chicken breasts, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.
-
If using filets mignon, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.
