• Pat Dry Pork Chops – Pat the pork chops dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
• Spice Rub – Combine the flour, smoked paprika, salt and freshly ground black pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge all sides of the pork chops with the seasoned flour.
• Preheat the Skillet – Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle or two of olive oil to the pan.
• Sear the Seasonings onto the Pork Chops -Sear the pork chops until evenly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Sear the edges of the pork chops as well. Remove from the skillet to a platter and keep warm while you make the sauce.
• Garlic- Heat oil and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic sizzles.
• Make the Dr Pepper BBQ Sauce – Add ketchup, Dr Pepper, molasses, cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well then add the brown sugar, chili powder, onion powder, salt, cumin and cayenne. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer Pork Chops to Skillet – Reduce the heat to medium-low and return the pork chops to the skillet, turning to coat with the barbecue sauce. Cover and cook over low heat until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F with an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of the chops. (Timing will depend on the thickness of the pork chops.)
• To Thicken the Sauce: (Optional) Remove the pork chops from the pan to a platter and keep warm.. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in an equal amount of cold water. Increase the temperature to medium high and whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce. Repeat until the desired thickness is reached.
• Return pork chops to the sauce and turn to coat, then serve immediately garnished with green onions.
