*NEW - Pork Chops with Bear-Man™ Sap-Happy Golden Bear
(Maple Sauce)

Pork Chops:
4 (5-ounce) boneless center-cut pork loin chops
Season with Bear-Man™ Tummy Rub or salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup Bear-Man™ Sap-Happy Golden Bear (Maple Sauce)

1. For the pork chops: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the pork chops well and season with salt and pepper, or Tummy Rub, to taste. Add the oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Lay the chops in the pan and cook until lightly browned on the first side, about 4 minutes. Turn the chops and cook until the second side is browned and the chops are cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the chops to a platter.
2. Pour off excess oil from pan. Add the water, and return the pan to the heat. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits that cling to the pan. Stir in the maple sauce along with any juices from the pork chops. Cook over high heat until the mixture is syrupy, about 5 minutes. Season to taste, if desired. Pour sauce over chops. Serve.
