Delicious Brown Sugar Chops

Ingredients

4 bone-in pork chops

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic until the sugar is mostly dissolved.

Prep the Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper (keep in mind the soy sauce is already salty).

Sear: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chops and sear for about 3–5 minutes per side until they develop a nice golden-brown crust.

Glaze: Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the chops. Let the sauce simmer and bubble, spooning it over the meat frequently.

Finish: Continue cooking for another 2–4 minutes, flipping once more to ensure both sides are thick and glossy with the glaze. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Rest: Remove the chops from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This keeps them juicy
