Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 0.5 cup whiskey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together whiskey, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary to create the marinade.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover or seal and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to let them come to room temperature. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and become slightly bubbly.
Sear the pork chops in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the reserved marinade to the pan and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the pork chops cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature at the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork chops with the sauce occasionally for extra flavor.
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
Pour the remaining sauce from the skillet over the rested pork chops and serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
