Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours to marinate. For best results, allow the marinade to penetrate the meat.
After marinating, remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before cooking.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the pork chops in the skillet, discarding the excess marinade. Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.
Garnish with sliced green onions if desired, and serve hot. These pork chops pair wonderfully with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
