Ingredients

  • 4 pork chops either with or without bone
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper for seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves of garlic finely minced
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • 1/4 cup of water alternatively, chicken broth can be used
  • 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar alternative options include apple cider vinegar or other white vinegars

Instructions

  • Initiate the oven’s broiler or set the grill to a medium-high temperature. Prior to cooking, season the pork chops uniformly with salt, freshly ground pepper, and garlic powder.
  • In a pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over a medium-high temperature until it reaches its desired heat. Once ready, place the pork chops into the pan and allow them to sear until they achieve a golden appearance on both sides. This should take approximately 4-5 minutes for each side. Once cooked to the appropriate degree, transfer the pork chops to a plate and keep them aside.
  • Adjust the stove’s heat setting to medium. In the same pan previously used, melt the unsalted butter. Ensure that any browned remnants from the pork chops are scraped and incorporated. Proceed to sauté the finely minced garlic until it releases its aroma, which should take around 30 seconds. Subsequently, incorporate the honey, water, and rice wine vinegar. Elevate the heat to medium-high and allow the mixture to simmer until the sauce has reduced in volume and attained a slightly thicker consistency, which should take approximately 3-4 minutes. Regular stirring is recommended during this phase.
  • Reintroduce the previously set aside pork chops to the pan. Ensure they are generously coated with the sauce. Position them under the broiler or on the grill for a brief period of 1-2 minutes, monitoring for a slight charring on the edges.
  • Prior to serving, it is suggested to garnish the pork chops with finely chopped parsley. They can be presented with a selection of accompaniments such as vegetables, rice, pasta, or a salad.
