Ingredients 6 smoked bone-in pork rib chops (½ inch thick; 1 pound total) 1 teaspoon dry mustard ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon light-brown sugar 1 tablespoon bourbon 1 tablespoon safflower oil Directions Place pork chops on a paper-towel-lined tray, and pat dry. Combine mustard and cayenne pepper, and evenly season chops. Stir together sugar, bourbon, and 2 tablespoons water. Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops in batches until browned, about 2 minutes on each side (turn heat down if necessary to keep browned bits from burning). Remove chops from pan, and lower heat. Add bourbon mixture, scrape up browned bits with a wooden spoon, and cook for 30 seconds, until reduced to a glaze. Return chops to pan, and cook, flipping, until chops are warmed through and completely glazed, about 1 minute. Rate it Print
