Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.25 cup bourbon
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. When the butter has melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Carefully pour the bourbon into the skillet, allowing it to deglaze the pan, and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Let it cook for about 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce. Simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the top of the meat. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, flipping once, until the chops are fully cooked (internal temperature should read 145°F/63°C).
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest in the pan for 3 minutes to absorb the glaze.
Plate the chops, spoon any remaining glaze over the top, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
