- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 Tablespoon Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
- 1/2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
- 4 whole Bone-in Pork Chops
- 1 dash Canola Oil For Searing
- Hickory Smoked Sea Salt, As Needed For Seasoning
- 1 whole Peach, Pitted And Quartered
- 1 cup Fresh Pineapple Chunks
- 2 whole Lemons, Juiced
- 1/2 Red Onion, Peeled And Quartered

- 1 pinch Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha
- 1.
- In a large bowl combine the maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, Sriracha, brown sugar, lemon juice and paprika.
- Stir it together completely.
- Get the pork chops into the bowl and let them get completely coated in the liquid.
- Cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator to let the pork chops marinate for an hour.
- 2.
- Meanwhile, prepare the peach pineapple salsa.
- Set up a food processor and combine the peach, pineapple, lemon juice, red onion, tomatoes, salt and sriracha in the bowl of it.
- Pulse it all until it is pureed but still has some texture.
- Transfer it into a sealed container and let the flavors meld in the refrigerator while the pork chops marinate.
- 3.
- When the pork chops are done marinating get a sturdy skillet, like cast iron, on the stove and heat up the canola oil over medium high heat.
- While it is heating up, get the pork chops out of the refrigerator and out of the bowl.
- Let the excess marinade drip off.
- Give each pork chop a generous sprinkle of salt for seasoning.
- 4.
- Get the pork chops into the hot pan and let them sear on the first side while the interior starts to cook through, about 3 minutes.
- Then flip them onto the other side and let that side sear for another 3 minutes while the interior finishes cooking through.
- Cook time will vary based on the thickness of your chops; mine were pretty thin.
- 5.
- Remove the pork chops from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- Then just plate them and serve with a generous amount of salsa on top.
- These are to die for!
