Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs bone-in or boneless pork chops, 1-inch thick
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp oil

Instructions
 

  • Place the pork chops in the water and mix in the salt and peppercorns. Let this sit for 12 to 24 hours.
  • Bring the pork chops to room temperature as you preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the oil on a baking pan or on the bottom of a Dutch oven or cast iron skillet.
  • Mix the seasonings with the brown sugar. Rub it on the surface of each pork chop. Place the chops on the oiled pan or skillet.
  • Cook the pork chops for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 135 F.
  • Turn on the broiler and broil each side of the pork chops for 2 to 3 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature is 140 degrees F. The pork will rise 5 more degrees while resting.
