Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless beef chops
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium honeycrisp apple, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup apple butter
- 1/2 cup water

Instructions
- Slice the onion and honeycrisp apple into thin pieces. Season both sides of the beef chops generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of water or broth to prevent sticking, then sear the seasoned beef chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

- In a bowl, whisk together apple butter, whole grain mustard, and water. Pour this mixture over the seared beef chops and vegetables.

- Remove from heat and garnish with rosemary or sage if desired. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
