Down-Home Pork Chops


Published: Friday, June 12, 2026

1 Tbsp. canola oil

4 (4 oz.) boneless pork loin chops

1 garlic clove, minced

½ c. beef broth

2 Tbsp. brown sugar

1 Tbsp. soy sauce

¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

2 tsp. cornstarch

2 Tbsp. cold water

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.

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. —4 servings.
