Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter.
Add the honey, soy sauce, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the sauce is well combined and starts to bubble gently, about 2 minutes.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the meat. Reduce the heat to low and let the chops simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Turn the chops occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes.
Sprinkle the chops with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm with sides of your choice.
