How to Make Spicy Sweet Pork Chop Steaks For Two

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add pork chops to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, then add apple cider vinegar and honey to the skillet.
  5. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider serving with mashed potatoes or a side salad.
