Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.25 cup Bourbon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Orange slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet, allowing it to melt.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add orange juice, orange zest, bourbon, honey, and soy sauce to the skillet. Whisk to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping once, until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Uncover the skillet and let the glaze reduce for another 2-3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the pork chops to coat them evenly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and orange slices, if desired.
