Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 bone-in pork chops and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup bourbon whiskey, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 3 minced garlic cloves until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F). Remove chops and set aside on a plate.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium, pour the bourbon glaze mixture into the skillet, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon with a shiny glaze.
  5. Step 5: Return pork chops to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through and allow flavors to meld.
  6. Step 6: Serve the pork chops drizzled with the bourbon glaze and enjoy immediately.
