Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, basil, salt and chili powder. Gradually stir in a small amount of oil until the mixture is crumbly. Rub over both sides of pork chops. I like to use tenderized chops so that the rub goes into the meat.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook pork in 1 tsp of oil over medium heat until browned on each side,but not completely cooked. Add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and allow to simmer until the pork reaches the proper cooked temperature, 160-70 degrees. (I didn't list a time because cooking will be different depending on the thickness of the chops.) If you'd like the sauce to be more of a thick glaze consistency, remove the pork from the skillet when cooked, reduce the sauce, and then return the pork to coat with the glaze.
