Pork Chops with Stone-Ground Mustard Sauce

6 boneless pork chops, 1 to 1 1/4-inch thick
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
1 cup half-and-half

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour until evenly coated; shake off excess.
3. Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add chops and brown on both sides. Remove to a plate and set aside.
4. Drain all but 2 tablespoons oil from pan. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions are softened, about 3 minutes.
5. Add broth, vinegar and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, scraping the bottom to remove any browned bits.
6. Add chops, cover and bake for 30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F. Baste with cooking liquid every 10 minutes.
7. Remove pork chops to a platter and hold warm.
8. Add mustard to pan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in half-and-half. Simmer until slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle over pork chops and serve.
