Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 pork chops
- 1 cup peaches
Seasoning and Glaze Ingredients:
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Supporting/Flavor Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Pat 4 pork chops completely dry using paper towels. Generously season each side with salt and black pepper.
- Combine 1 cup diced peaches, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a saucepan.
- Heat the peach mixture over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
- Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Place seasoned pork chops in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side until golden brown.
- Flip the pork chops and cook the second side for another 4-5 minutes. Check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Pour the entire peach glaze over the pork chops in the skillet. Baste the meat for 2-3 minutes, coating each chop thoroughly.
- Transfer the glazed pork chops to a serving plate. Spoon any remaining sauce directly over the top.
- Let the meat rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Notes
- Check pork chops for consistent thickness to ensure even cooking and prevent dry edges.
- Fresh peaches create a more vibrant glaze, while canned peaches offer convenience and consistent sweetness.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee perfect doneness without overcooking the pork chops.
- For a lower-sugar option, replace brown sugar with honey or a sugar substitute and reduce the quantity.
