Directions
-
Trim any excess fat from the pork chops.
-
In a large non-stick skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
-
Cook the pork chops, turning once, for about 5 minutes total, until browned on both sides.
-
Transfer the pork chops to a plate and set aside, keeping them warm.
-
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes or until softened.
-
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine ketchup, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, dry mustard, and pepper.
-
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the onions.
-
Bring the sauce to a boil.
-
Return the pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet, turning to coat them evenly in the sauce.
-
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring and turning the pork chops occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and the pork is just cooked through with a hint of pink.
-
If the sauce is too thick, stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
-
Serve immediately.
