Instructions
Creating Brown Sugar Pork Chops is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious meal:
1. Prepare the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps them sear properly.
2. Season the Meat: In a small bowl, mix together black pepper, salt, and paprika. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the pork chops.
3. Make the Sauce: In another bowl, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir until well mixed.
4. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
5. Sear the Chops: Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Add the Sauce: Pour the brown sugar sauce over the seared pork chops in the skillet.
7. Cook Through: Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, basting occasionally, until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
8. Rest the Meat: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
9. Thicken the Sauce: Increase the heat to medium-high and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
10. Serve: Plate the pork chops and drizzle the thickened sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
