Make cuts on the edges of each pork chop.

Marinate the pork chops for about an hour.

Prepare the balsamic glaze by heating balsamic vinegar in a pot until it boils, then reduce the heat and simmer for several minutes before transferring to another container to cool.

Mix equal parts of maple syrup and the balsamic glaze (about 40 ml each) for the glaze.

Heat a pan and add the marinated chops, cooking for about 4 minutes on one side until sizzling.

Turn the chops over after 4 minutes and cook for another 4 minutes.

Add the glaze to the chops, turning them over to coat, and cook for an additional minute or two until ready.
