Costeletas de porco ao molho barbecue fáceis no forno

Ingredientes

• 4-6 pork chops (boneless or bone-in, ideally 1/2-3/4 inch thick)
• Salt and pepper
• 3/4 cup chili sauce (*see Note 1)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark, loosely filled)
• 1 teaspoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (or 1 1/2 tsp prepared yellow mustard)
• Freshly ground pepper

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350F. (regular bake setting/not fan assisted)

2. 2

   Place pork chops in an oven-safe baking dish or skillet. Choose a dish that is not too big, but just nicely holds the pork chops without a lot of space between them. Season pork with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Make the sauce by stirring together the chili sauce, water, brown sugar, soy sauce, dry mustard and pepper. Pour over pork chops and bake, uncovered, for about 1 hour, for 3/4-1 inch thick pork chops or less, for thinner pork chops. If you like, you can pop under the broiler for a minute or two at the end of cooking, to caramelize the sauce a bit.

4. 4

   Serve with mashed potatoes or rice.
