    1. Pour the apple cider vinegar into a saucepan, add the cornstarch, and whisk by hand until smooth. The starch should dissolve completely, with no white lumps left. 2. Stir in liquid honey (if your honey has crystallized, melt it in the microwave or over a water bath). Add the whole-grain mustard and onion powder, season with ground cayenne, and add the brown sugar. 3. Whisk everything together by hand to combine, then set the pan over medium heat and simmer, whisking constantly, until the mixture reduces — about five minutes. The finished glaze has a lovely caramel color and a silky texture. Divide it into two portions: one for cooking the meat, the other for serving. 4. Rinse the pork well under running water and pat it carefully dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together salt and ground black pepper. 5. Cut the meat into pieces about 2–2.5 cm (1 inch) thick. Lay a piece on a cutting board, cover it with plastic wrap, and pound it on both sides with a meat mallet. The plastic wrap keeps the fibers from tearing so the piece holds its shape. Pound each piece the same way. 6. Rub the prepared meat with the salt-and-pepper mixture on both sides. Brush a grill pan with vegetable oil and set it over the heat. Lay the pork chops on the hot pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side. Using a silicone brush, coat the seared chops with the glaze on both sides and cook one more minute. Plate the chops, drizzle with the reserved honey glaze, and serve. Enjoy!
