Ingredients

For the Pork Chops

4 pieces Boneless pork chops at least 1 inch thick
½ cup Brown sugar for caramelization
1 tablespoon Soy sauce consider low-sodium
2 tablespoons Olive oil for searing

For Seasoning

1 teaspoon Garlic powder for a fragrant kick
½ teaspoon Black pepper freshly cracked
½ teaspoon Salt adjust to taste

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2-3 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt; mix until smooth.
Pat the 4 boneless pork chops dry, then generously sprinkle the seasoning mix on both sides and press gently to adhere.
Place the pork chops in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden-brown and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Remove pork chops from skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, choose thick pork chops and always let them rest after cooking to keep them juicy and tender. Line the skillet with foil for easy cleanup.
