Ingredients
- 2 lbs 6 chops thick-cut pork chops $6.19
- 1/4 cup molasses $0.60
- 1/4 cup orange juice concentrate $0.33
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar $0.06
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard $0.11
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder $0.02
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.02
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil $0.08
Instructions
- Make the marinade by stirring together the molasses, orange juice concentrate, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt. Place the marinade in a bag, add the chops, and seal tightly. Place in the refrigerator for at least two hours or longer if desired.
- When you’re ready to cook the chops, heat 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot (it will look wavy in the pan), add the chops. Cook for about 7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and the marinade has reduced to a thick sauce. No need to pour all of the marinade into the skillet, the amount that comes off of the chops as they cook will be plenty to make a nice sauce. Discard the extra marinade from the bag. Serve hot!
