Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create the glaze. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the pork chops in the hot skillet and sear each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the prepared glaze.
Cook the glaze for 1-2 minutes until it begins to bubble and thicken slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them. Cover the skillet loosely with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer the pork chops in the glaze for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Drizzle any remaining glaze over the pork chops before serving. Enjoy!
