Down-Home Pork Chops

Yield: 4 servings
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 15 min

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops (4 ounces each)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and brown on each side, 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside. Add garlic to the pan; cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in broth, brown sugar, soy sauce and red pepper flakes. Return chops to the pan; cover and simmer until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145°, 6-8 minutes. Remove chops and keep warm.
  2. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into the broth mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Serve with chops.
