Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

Season the pork chops generously on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

02

Step
1 mins

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully add the pork chops in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. (1 minute)

03

Step
6 mins

Sear the pork chops until golden brown and beautifully caramelized, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

04

Step
2 mins

While the pork chops sear, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and garlic powder in a medium bowl until well combined. (2 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Pour the sweet and tangy barbecue sauce mixture over the seared pork chops in the skillet and bring to a gentle boil.

06

Step
5 mins

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the pork chops are cooked through and tender, about 4 to 5 minutes, or until an internal thermometer registers 145°F (63°C).

07

Step
1 mins

Remove from heat. Garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley before serving. (1 minute)

For extra flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of brown sugar and lime juice in the barbecue sauce to suit your personal preference. Taste and adjust as needed.
Serve these delectable pork chops with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

    Next time I'll try marinating the pork chops in the sauce for a few hours before cooking.
