Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper. Stir until dissolved and well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the prepared sauce mixture and stir, letting it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the water and unsalted butter to the skillet, stirring until the butter is melted and the sauce has a smooth consistency.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and cover with a lid. Let the pork chops cook for an additional 7-9 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the thickened sauce over the chops before serving.
Serve hot with a side of rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
