Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork loin chops
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.
Place the pork loin chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and unsalted butter.
Once the butter is melted and begins to sizzle, remove the pork chops from the marinade (reserving the marinade for later) and place them into the skillet. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the pork chops. Add the minced garlic and simmer the sauce for 12-15 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the chops, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
