Description

Juicy pork chops cooked to perfection with a delightful blend of brown sugar, spices, and savory flavors that create a comforting meal for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Pork Chops
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the flavor-packed rub.
  2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and rub the mixture evenly over both sides of each chop.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  4. Add the pork chops to the pan and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until beautifully browned and cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F.
  5. Allow the chops to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, let the pork chops come to room temperature before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge or freeze for up to three months.
