Ingredients
- 4 bone-in center cut pork chops
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 5 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place pork chops into a resealable plastic bag. In a small bowl, make the marinade by whisking together olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, ground mustard, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour marinade into the bag and over the pork chops. Seal and turn the bag gently to coat the chops in the marinade. Transfer to the fridge to marinate for 2-8 hours.
- To cook, preheat an oven-safe heavy skillet over high heat and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chops from the bag and discard the marinade.
- Sear the chops for 2 minutes on each side and then immediately transfer the skillet with the chops to the oven. (Alternatively, transfer the chops to a baking dish.) Bake until the internal temperature of the chops reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the chops from the oven and set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
