Step 1
Pour the vinegar into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. While that’s heating up, grab a sealable plastic container and mix together the salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, and mustard powder. Carefully pour the hot vinegar over the spices and stir until everything dissolves. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors come together. Then, add some ice cubes to cool it down, cover the container, and give it a good shake or stir until the ice melts. Take the lid off and add the pork chops, making sure they’re submerged in the brine. Pop the container in the fridge and let it sit for about 2 hours. When you’re ready, cook the pork chops however you like – pan-frying or grilling over medium-high heat for around 15 minutes, flipping once, works great. They’ll turn out juicy and full of flavor.
