Description

Directions

• In a small saucepan, combine all glaze ingredients.  Heat over MED heat until it reaches a low boil.  Cook until sauce reduces down, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Set aside.
• Place cast iron skillet in oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pat chops dry with a paper towel, then rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Remove skillet from oven and place on burner over MED-HIGH heat.  Place chops in the skillet, you should hear them sizzle immediately.  Let cook 2-3 minutes to sear.  Brush pork with glaze.
• Flip pork chops over, brush the other side with the glaze, and transfer skillet back to the hot oven.  Bake until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 140 degrees F (about 5-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of your pork chops).
• Transfer pork chops to a plate, tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Serve pork chops with a bit of the glaze drizzled over the top if desired.
