Brown Sugar Pork Chops

Pat the pork chops dry using paper towels.

Dry pork chops develop a better crust during cooking and allow the seasoning to adhere properly.

Step 2: Make the Seasoning Blend

In a small bowl, combine:

• Brown sugar
• Paprika
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Dried thyme

Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.

Step 3: Season the Pork Chops

Rub the seasoning mixture generously over both sides of each pork chop.

Press lightly so the seasoning adheres well.

Allow the pork chops to rest for 5 minutes at room temperature before cooking.

Step 4: Heat the Skillet

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add olive oil and butter.

Once the butter has melted and begins to foam slightly, the pan is ready.

Step 5: Sear the Pork Chops

Place the pork chops in the hot skillet.

Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side without moving them.

This helps create a caramelized crust.

Flip the pork chops and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 6: Add Worcestershire Sauce
