Ingredients
Honey Garlic Sauce
- ▢½ cup (170 g) honey
- ▢2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ▢3 tablespoons garlic, minced
- ▢1 small yellow onion, finely diced (about ½ cup)
- ▢2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- ▢½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ▢parsley, chopped for garnish
Pork Chops
- ▢2 thick-cut pork chops, bone-in, room temperature
- ▢½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ▢½ teaspoon onion powder
- ▢½ teaspoon paprika
- ▢1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ▢¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ▢2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- To a small bowl, add honey, soy sauce, garlic, onion, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together to combine. Set aside.
- Evenly season both sides of pork chops with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- To a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Once hot, sear the seasoned pork chops on one side until it forms a golden crust. To prevent sticking, wait for the pork to form a crust naturally before attempting to flip it, around 3-5 minutes. The pork will release from the skillet once a proper sear has formed. Flip pork and cook on the other side for 3-5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the honey garlic sauce. Continue cooking the pork chops, occasionally basting them with the honey garlic sauce, until their internal temperature reaches 145°F (about 5 additional minutes). Depending on the size of the pork chops, cooking times may vary.
- Serve pork chops, spooning sauce over the tops. Garnish with parsley.
