Ingredients

½ cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 scallion
freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 boneless pork chops

Steps:

Combine maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, hot sauce, Worcestershire, scallion, and black pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth. Pour into a zip-top bag and add pork chops; seal and shake to coat. Marinate in a refrigerator for at least 4 hours to overnight.
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler on high heat.
Place pork chops onto 4 individual pieces of aluminum foil. Distribute marinade evenly between them and wrap up in foil packs to keep moist.
Broil pork chops on the top rack in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on thickness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a pork chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
