Ingredients
For the Marinade:
- 2 cups Steen's 100 percent Pure Cane Syrup
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup light Karo syrup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup minced onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
For the Pork:
- 8 double-cut pork loin chops, 2 1/2 to 3 inches thick, 14 to 16 ounces each
- Creole seasoning
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 recipe Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese
- Parsley
Directions
Whisk all of the ingredients together, in a mixing bowl, blending well. Season the both sides of the pork chops with Creole seasoning. Place the chops in a large Zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the chops. Seal and shake the bag to coat the chops evenly with the marinade. Refrigerate for 24 hours, turning the bag several times. Drain the pork in a colander, reserving the marinade. Pour the marinade into a saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat until it is thick and dark, about 30 minutes. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of the oil to each skillet. Add the pork chops and sear for 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and place on a wire rack set in a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes for medium. Baste the pork chops every 5 minutes with the marinade. Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon the Macaroni in the center of each plate. Lay a chop on the top and garnish with parsley.

I had something simular at a cafe in Chicago and just had to find the recipe or something very simular. This is it! I love this and follow the recipe as prescribed. Make with some bourbon sweet mashed taters and you'll be in heaven!

I omitted the Steens syrup shenanigans...seems like too much sugar anyway...I just used the maple syrup and karo with the other marinade ingredients. I had six boneless chops and halved the amounts of all the ingredients. Very good and super fast. I also added some penzey's "pork chop" spice which was a good sort of salty/smokey addition to the mix.
