In a small bowl, mash together the butter, mustard, thyme, zest, salt and pepper until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from broiler. Preheat the broiler.
Line the bottom of a broiler pan with foil and replace the top part of the pan. Arrange the chops on the pan. Season both sides of the chops generously with salt and pepper. Broil until the first side is well-browned, about 8 minutes. Turn the chops over with tongs and continue to broil until they're well-browned and the center is cooked to your liking, 3 to 5 minutes longer for medium rare.
Transfer the chops to serving plates and top each with a dollop of flavored butter. Serve hot.

If preparing this recipe as gluten-free, just be sure to use a Dijon mustard that is known to be GF.
Check for doneness of chop by cutting into a chop near the bone. Serve with haricot verts and boiled potatoes. The melted butter on the chops will drizzle off the sides and be the perfect mop-up for the beans and potatoes.
