Step 1

Optional Method of Marinading the Pork before cooking.

Step 2

Mix the marinade ingredients, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the pork chops to the marinade.

Step 4

The ideal time is 6-12 hours. As this will allow the marinade to absorb into the flesh and start to work as a tenderizer. However, if you are short on time. 3-4 hours will still give plenty of time for the flavors to enhance and develop. Even 1 hour of marinating will make a difference.

Step 5

Proceed with the directions.

Step 6

Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes and flip the meat browning the other side. At this point you are cooking just until the meat is seared on both sides. Total cook time for browning should not be any longer than 4 minutes.

Step 7

Next place the pork chops in an oven at medium heat 325 degrees Fahrenheit and bake until they are slightly pink and juicy but still safe to eat. Approximately 5-7 minutes. The safe internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 8

Allowing this dish rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature will help the juices stay inside the meat.
