Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, red wine vinegar, and chicken broth. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture. Stir well to create the sauce.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, flipping the chops halfway through, until they are fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F).
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Turn the heat to low, remove the pork chops from the skillet, and stir the slurry into the sauce to thicken it. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Chop the green onions into thin slices and sprinkle them over the finished pork chops.
Serve the pork chops warm, generously drizzled with the tangy sauce. Pair with steamed rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
