Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add fresh orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk it into the orange sauce to thicken.
Allow the glaze to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thick and glossy.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and coat them with the orange glaze. Spoon the glaze over the chops for an even coat.
Serve the pork chops warm, garnished with additional orange zest if desired, and enjoy!
