Description
Juicy boneless pork chops seared to perfection and coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce.
Ingredients
- 15 oz (425g) center cut boneless pork chops (3 pork chops)
- Salt
- Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon chopped Italian parsley (for garnishing)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 dashes cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper.
- Combine all the ingredients for the Honey Sauce, stirring thoroughly to mix well.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Place the pork chops in the skillet and pan fry each side without moving for 3-4 minutes, or until they develop a golden brown crust. Flip and repeat on the other side.
- Push the pork chops to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining butter to the empty space. Once melted, add the garlic and sauté for about 10 seconds, until it just starts to turn light brown.
- Pour in the Honey Garlic Sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to a thicker consistency and turns a rich amber brown color.
- Spoon the sauce over the pork chops. Turn off the heat, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, drizzle more honey sauce over the pork chops before serving.
