Quick and easy pork chops with a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, caramelized to perfection.

Ingredients

  • 4 Pork Chops (bone-in or boneless)
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Mix the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly blended.
  2. Season the Pork Chops: Take the pork chops and rub the spice mixture over both sides, ensuring each chop is evenly coated.
  3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Cook the Pork Chops: Carefully add the seasoned pork chops to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  5. Rest Before Serving: Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the pan. Let them rest for a few minutes to lock in the juices before serving.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan and use a meat thermometer for best results.
