📝 Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs. pork chops (room temperature, boneless or bone-in)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or any mustard you enjoy)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pat the room-temperature pork chops with a few paper towels on all sides to dry them. Season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are lightly browned and release easily from the skillet. Remove the pork chops and set them aside on a plate.
2. 2Lower the heat to medium, then add the minced garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and soy sauce. Sauté until the mixture simmers, using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
3. 3Add the pork chops back to the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer as the pork cooks for another 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness and type of pork chops. (Bone-in chops may take longer). Stop a few times to spoon the brown sugar glaze over the pork chops. When the pork chops are cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), remove them from the pan and allow them to rest for at least 3 minutes.Spoon the glaze from the pan over the pork chops and serve right away.
