Instructions
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Prep the Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper (keep in mind the soy sauce is already salty).
Sear: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chops and sear for about 3–5 minutes per side until they develop a nice golden-brown crust.
Glaze: Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the chops. Let the sauce simmer and bubble, spooning it over the meat frequently.
