Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 4 pork chops
Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Other
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Heat Oil in Skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Cook Pork Chops: Add the pork chops to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through.
- Prepare Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic, mixing well to create a balanced sweet and savory sauce.
- Add Sauce to Skillet: Pour the prepared sauce over the pork chops in the skillet, ensuring they are nicely coated.
- Simmer and Thicken Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the pork chops in the sauce for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and glaze the meat.
- Serve: Plate the pork chops and spoon the honey garlic sauce from the skillet over the top before serving to enjoy every flavorful bite.
Notes
- For juicier pork chops, let them rest for 3-5 minutes after cooking before slicing.
- Adjust the amount of honey to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium content if desired.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or rice to make it a complete meal.
- If pork chops are thick, consider finishing them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes after searing.
