Ingredients
- 2 bone-in pork chops 3/4 to 1 inch thick
- 4 tsp olive oil divided
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp sugar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
- 3/4 cup orange juice
Instructions
- Lightly coat all sides of the pork chops with olive oil, then lightly coat both sides with salt, pepper and cumin. Then coat one side with sugar.
- Place the pork chops into a skillet, sugared side down, then place on stove and turn on medium heat. Cook the chops until about half cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the chops.
- Flip the chops over, reduce the temperature to low, and cover the skillet. Cook covered until the internal temperature of the pork is at least 145 degrees when measured near the bone, 3 to 6 minutes.
- Place the pork chops on a serving platter and tent with aluminum foil 4 or 5 minutes. Pour the drippings into the orange glaze sauce.
- While the chops are cooking, in a separate skillet on medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil, the minced garlic and the red pepper flakes. Stir and cook until fragrant, 30 to 45 seconds.
- Turn the heat up to medium high and add the orange juice and lightly boil until the liquid has reduced by half, 5 to 8 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
- Serve the pork chops topped with the orange glaze.
