Ingredients
- 4 large bone-in pork chops, patted dry

- freshly ground black pepper, or to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
- 2 tbsp. canola oil tips & tricks
- 1/2 cup white onions, diced
- 1/2 cup red peppers, diced
- 2 tbsp. jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely diced
- 1 1/2 cups pineapple, cored and diced
- 2 tbsp. ginger, minced
- 2 large cloves garlic, pressed
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup Kansas City BBQ Sauce see Recipe
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch (mixed in 1/2 cup cold water)
Directions
- Generously season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper; set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil and when hot, place chops. Cook them until brown, about 2:30 to 3 minutes per side depending on the thickness.
- Transfer them to a plate while continuing with the recipe.
- In the same skillet, add onions and quickly sauté for 1 minute. Add red and jalapeños peppers, and cook for 1 minute.
- Add pineapple and sauté for 2 minutes before adding ginger and garlic; sauté 1 minute.
- Pour in pineapple juice and Kansas BBQ sauce. Stir well, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer; add brown sugar and ground cumin.
- Return pork chops including any accumulated juices back to the skillet, spoon sauce over the meat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Flip the chops and spoon sauce over; cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- When time is up, transfer the meat onto a plate and add cornstarch mixture. Stir well until the sauce thickens, about 30 to 40 seconds. Serve immediately.
