Step 1
Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, grated pear, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
Step 2
Pat pork chops dry. Score the fat in a cross-hatch pattern with a knife.
Step 3
Add pork to the marinade, turning to coat. Let sit while you heat the skillet, ~5 minutes.
Step 4
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Remove pork from marinade, shaking off excess.
Step 5
Sear pork 2–3 minutes per side without moving until edges caramelize and center is barely pink.
Step 6
Scatter scallions and sesame seeds over the top. Serve immediately with rice or steamed vegetables.
