Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces bone-in pork chop steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chop steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and ground black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chop steaks to the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour the spicy sweet sauce over the pork chop steaks in the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the steaks to coat them evenly.
Continue cooking the pork chop steaks for another 6-8 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the pork chop steaks to rest for 3 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices.
Garnish the pork chop steaks with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
