Sear the pork chops: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Season the chops. Add butter and, once foamy, sear the chops 3-4 min per side until golden. Set aside.

Deglaze the pan: Deglaze with broth or water, scraping up the browned bits. Return the chops to infuse flavors.

Prepare the sauce: Add cream, mustard, and crushed pepper. Mix and simmer for 5-7 min over low heat until slightly thickened.

Infuse the thyme: Add thyme and cook for another 2-3 min. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Finish (optional): Off the heat, stir in a knob of cold butter and whisk for extra creaminess.

Serve: Plate the chops, generously coat with sauce, and serve hot with roasted potatoes, mash, or green vegetables.
- Letting the meat rest after cooking ensures tender chops and a glossy sauce.
- For a lighter version, replace cream with a mix of light cream and milk, or use coconut milk.
- Vegetarian variant: replace pork with portobello mushrooms or grilled tofu.
- For more fragrant pepper, crush the peppercorns in a mortar before adding.
