Savor the juicy, caramelized garlic-herb pork chops that are the perfect blend of sweetness from brown sugar and savory herbs like oregano and thyme. Give yourself a treat with this simple yet delectable recipe that will impress your taste buds.
Dissolve 1 tbsp salt in 1/4 cup warm water to create a brine. Cool to room temperature, then submerge the pork chops ensuring they are entirely covered. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Pat the pork chops dry and season with freshly ground black pepper on each side.
3
Heat cooking oil or ghee in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for about 3 minutes per side, then remove them from the skillet.
4
Reduce heat to low and add unsalted butter, light brown sugar, chopped garlic, dried oregano, and dried thyme to the skillet. Stir until well combined.
5
Place the pork chops back into the skillet, smothering them with the sauce on each side.
6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork chops until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 140F to 145F, about 6 to 8 minutes depending on thickness.
7
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon any remaining sauce over the pork chops before enjoying.
