Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and ground paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, honey, and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the orange sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover and let them cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve the pork chops with the orange sauce drizzled over the top. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
