Start by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps the caramelization process by ensuring they are not too wet.
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Be generous with the seasoning for better flavor.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Add the pork chops to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned and caramelized.
Flip the pork chops and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of each chop. Cook for another 3-4 minutes on this side, allowing the sugar to melt and form a glaze.
If the pork chops are thick, you may need to reduce the heat to medium and cook them for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps to retain the juices within the meat.
Serve the caramelized pork chops with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes.
