Ingredients
4 thick 1-inch pork chops
4 tbsp brown sugar, packed
4 tbsp butter (cut into squares)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat.
Lightly oil or grease a large baking dish to prevent the pork chops from sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Pork Chops
Lay the 4 pork chops in the prepared baking dish, making sure they are evenly spaced apart.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of packed brown sugar over the top of each pork chop, ensuring the surface is coated.
Step 3: Add Butter and Sauces
Place a square tablespoon of butter on top of each pork chop.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce evenly over all the pork chops.
Step 4: Bake with Foil
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, sealing the edges tightly to trap the steam.
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse and the chops to become tender.
Step 5: Finish Baking Without Foil
After 40 minutes, remove the aluminum foil from the baking dish.
Return the pork chops to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes.
This will allow the pork chops to develop a beautiful golden-brown color.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these brown sugar pork chops with a side of mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or buttered rice for a complete meal.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for added flavor and presentation.
Tips for Perfect Pork Chops
Choose thick chops: Thicker pork chops (about 1 inch) work best for this recipe, as they stay juicy and tender.
Adjust cooking time: If using thinner pork chops, reduce the baking time slightly to prevent overcooking.
Optional marinade: For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops in the soy and Worcestershire sauce mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
