    Ingredients in Pineapple Glazed Pork Chops

    • pork chops
    • salt
    • pepper
    • pineapple juice
    • oil
    • soy sauce
    • brown sugar
    • rice vinegar
    • ginger
    • sesame oil

    How to make Pineapple Glazed Pork Chops

    In a medium sized bowl combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, olive or vegetable oil, rice vinegar, ginger, and brown sugar. Set aside.

    Wash and cut slices into the side of each pork chop with the fat and silver skin along the edge. This stops the pork chops from curling. Make cuts every 1 ½ to 2 inches along that edge. The cuts should be no more than ½ an inch deep.

    Dry pork chops with paper towels and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.

    Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat until shimmering or a drop of water flicked in it dances.

    Add pork chops and cook until well browned on the first side, between 6 and 8 minutes, and then flip.

    Add pineapple mixture.

    Turn heat down to medium low and cook for about another 8 minutes, it may be more, cooking time will depend on the thickness of your pork chops.  Your pork chops should be 145 degrees before they are cooked.

    Once they are that temperature remove them from your skillet and place them on a plate. Tent or cover loosely with foil.

    Simmer the glaze that remains in the pan until it thickens, almost the consistency of syrup.

    When this happens remove from heat, turn your element off and add sesame oil.

    Return pork chops back into your skillet, with any accumulated juices, and adjust to coat.

    Serve immediately and enjoy!.
