Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper. Stir until dissolved and well combined.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside on a plate.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium, then add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Add the prepared sauce mixture and stir, letting it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 6
Add the water and unsalted butter to the skillet, stirring until the butter is melted and the sauce has a smooth consistency.
Step 7
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and cover with a lid. Let the pork chops cook for an additional 7-9 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the thickened sauce over the chops before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot with a side of rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
