Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Sear pork chops 3 minutes per side without moving; season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. Step 3

    Add butter and brown sugar to the skillet, tilting to coat the chops evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Cook 2 more minutes, spooning the glaze over the chops until they're golden and caramelized.

  5. Step 5

    Serve hot with steamed rice, sautéed green beans and corn, and the pan drippings as sauce.
