Ingredients
  

4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup bourbon

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, bourbon, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

    Marinate the Pork Chops: Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chops, making sure they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

      Preheat the Grill/Pan: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C). For a stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

        Cook the Pork Chops: Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the marinade used for marinating. Place the chops on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the chops are caramelized.

          Prepare the Glaze: While the pork chops are cooking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

            Glaze the Pork Chops: Once the pork chops are cooked, brush the thickened glaze over them in the last minute of cooking for a beautiful, sticky coating.

              Rest: Remove the pork chops from the heat and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This helps to keep them juicy.

                Serve: Serve the glazed pork chops warm, topped with additional glaze if desired, and garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color.
