Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 4 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let them sit at room temperature while you prepare the sauce.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the honey and balsamic vinegar, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet to incorporate their flavor into the glaze.
Allow the glaze to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
If desired, sprinkle fresh rosemary over the pork chops during the last minute of cooking for an extra layer of flavor.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the pork chops rest for 3 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a generous drizzle of the honey balsamic glaze.
