Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Pork chops (2 thick bone-in chops or 4 thin chops)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons vinegar white, apple cider or rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper optional
Instructions
- Pour the vegetable oil in a large skillet and turn the burner on medium/high heat.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the pork chops. Cook uncovered for 3 minutes on each side to sear the outsides of the chops; remove the chops from the pan and set aside.
- Turn the burner down to low/medium heat.
- To the skillet, add the butter and garlic. Let the garlic cook for about a minute.
- Next, stir in the honey, water, vinegar and pepper. Let cook for a few minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Add the chops back to the pan and cook for 5-10 minutes, basting frequently with the sauce. The pork chops are done when they register an internal temperature of 145°F. Let rest for 3 minutes before slicing.
- Thinly slice the chops and serve over a bed of rice; drizzle the remaining sauce over the pork.
- Garnish with parsley and additional crushed red pepper, if desired.
