Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Chops

    Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate the meat.

  2. 2

    Make the Glaze

    In a medium saucepan, combine the root beer, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Glaze

    Bring the mixture in the saucepan to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.

  2. 4

    Sear the Pork Chops

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

  3. 5

    Glaze the Pork Chops

    After searing, pour the glaze over the pork chops in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

  4. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the pork chops with the root beer glaze drizzled on top.
