Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 (6-ounce) boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening the sauce)
- 2 tablespoons water (optional, if using cornstarch)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine.
- If you want a thicker sauce, whisk together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir it into the skillet.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until it thickens slightly.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them.
- Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce has reduced and coated the chops.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Ensure pork chops are not overcrowded in the skillet for proper searing. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference.
- For a spicier glaze, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
