Instructions
- 1
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chops 4-5 minutes per side until browned, then set aside.
- 3
Lower the heat and add garlic to the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds.
- 4
Carefully pour whiskey into the skillet. Let it simmer 1 minute to cook off the alcohol.
- 5
Stir in brown sugar, mustard, and soy sauce. Simmer until thickened into a glaze, about 4-5 minutes.
- 6
Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the glaze all over them.
- 7
Let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Chef's tips
Let the whiskey simmer for at least 1 minute so the strong alcohol taste cooks away. Resting the meat keeps it juicy.
Storage
Refrigerate up to 3 days.
Reheating
Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water to loosen the glaze.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Pouring whiskey too close to an open flame
- •Overcooking the pork chops until they dry out
