Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Pork Chops:

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

For the Brown Sugar Glaze:

• ½ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for slight heat)

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Pork Chops

Start by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps them sear properly and develop a beautiful crust.

Season both sides generously with:

• Salt
• Black pepper
• Garlic powder
• Paprika

Let the chops sit at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2: Sear the Pork Chops

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil or butter and allow it to heat until shimmering.

Place the pork chops in the skillet without overcrowding. Sear for about 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until a golden-brown crust forms.

You’re not fully cooking them yet—just building flavor.

Once seared, reduce heat to medium.
