Rather than marinating these chops ahead of time, which, let’s face it, doesn’t work on weeknights, we came up with a citrus-mustard-cilantro dressing that bathes the chops in punchy flavor after they’ve cooked. The pinch of sugar helps these chops take on lots of color, and hard-searing on just one side ensures they’re not overcooked. See the step-by-step instructions here.
