JEREMY'S GLAZED PORK CHOPS

JEREMY'S GLAZED PORK CHOPS

From Jeremy Troyer

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 t. cayenne powder
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. paprika
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. black pepper
2 T. olive oil
4 thick-cut boneless pork chops

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine all seasonings (except oil).

Rub the seasoning mixture over all sides of each chop. The moisture from the meat will help the seasoning to adhere to the surface.

Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the seasoned pork chops.

Cook the pork chops for about 5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.

If your chops are greater than one inch thick, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven for another 5-10 minutes to finish cooking.

Test them with a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temp has reached 145 degrees. Cook longer, if needed.

Dredge the chops through the thick sauce in the bottom of the pan just before serving.
