Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 piece bone-in pork chops about 1-inch thick
- 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp soy sauce low-sodium if preferred
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tbsp butter optional, for finishing
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops and sear 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic.
- Reduce heat to medium, pour the brown sugar mixture over the chops, and simmer for 4 to 6 minutes, spooning the glaze over the meat, until chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
