2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/4 tsp Black Pepper

For the Beef Chops:

4 Beef Chops (about 1-inch thick)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt (adjust based on soy sauce saltiness)

✅ Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Step 2: Marinate the Beef Chops

Sear the chops for 3–4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.
Step 4: Caramelize with the Marinade
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet.

the chops are cooked to your desired doneness:
Rare: 125°F
Medium-Rare: 135°F
Medium: 145°F
Step 5: Rest and Serve
Remove the chops from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
