Equipment

  • Small Bowl & Whisk
  • Large Pan & Tongs
  • wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 75 g Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Water
  • 1.5 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 4 5oz Boneless Pork Loin Chops brought close to room temp
  • 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 3 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • Olive Oil drizzle for frying

Instructions
 

  • In a small mixing bowl whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, water, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Place to one side.
  • Coat the pork chops in salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder and black pepper.
  • Add a drizzle of oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the pork chops and fry both sides for around 3 minutes, or until they've built up a crust on both sides and are just about cooked through the centre. Stack them on top of each other with the strips of fat aligning, then sear for a few mins until deep golden with the fat rendered down. Rest the chops to one side and lower the heat to medium.
  • Melt in the butter, then give the sauce a quick whisk and pour it in. Stir and simmer for 4-5mins, or until it thickens to a thin caramel consistency. Pour in the resting juices from the pork and simmer for a further 30 seconds to re-thicken, then add the pork chops in.
  • Coat in the glaze then serve up with more glaze drizzled on top. Enjoy!

Notes

Pork Chops - I recommend getting the pork chops out of the fridge 30mins or so before needed, just to help relax the meat and ensure it cooks through evenly. If the strip of fat is quite thick I recommend scoring it with a sharp knife. This will help prevent the chops curling up in the pan. Cooking Times - This is dependent on how thick the chops are. In general, they probably don't need as long as you think. They'll carry on cooking slightly as the rest and when added back to the pan. For reference, the safe internal temp for pork is 63C/145F. Serving - Here I've served with rice and Green Beans, but any sort of carb will work (Mashed Potatoes are also great!).
