Does anyone have a good recipe for pork chops with caramelized pecan sauce poured over them?
My fiance ordered these delicious pork chops in a local restaurant this summer & loved them. I'd like to find a recipe for them & surprise him by making them for him. Thanks in advance for your help. Have a great day!!! Additional Details

4 4-ounce lean boneless center-cut loin pork chops
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
vegetable cooking spray
3 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons maple sugar
2 tablespoon toasted pecans -- chopped
Trim fat from chops. Place chops between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Spread mustard on both sides of chops. Combine flour and ginger; stir well. Dredge pork chops in flour mixture.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; add oil. Place over medium heat until hot. Add chops, and cook 3 minutes on each side or until chops are browned. Combine maple syrup and pecans; add to pork chops, stirring to coat. Cover and simmer 4 minutes or until chops are tender, turning once.
I also know some people that add 1/2 cup beer, and say it tastes great.
