INGREDIENTS NEEDED :

 

4 pork chops bone in or out

Salt and pepper, to season

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup water (or chicken broth)

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar, or any white vinegar)

 

STEP-BY-STEP PREPARATION :

 

  1. Preheat oven broiler (or grill) on medium-high heat. Season chops with salt, pepper and garlic powder just before cooking.
  2. Heat oil in a pan or skillet over medium high heat until hot. Sear chops on both sides until golden and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes each side). Transfer to a plate; set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the same pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the honey, water and vinegar. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook until the sauce reduces down and thickens slightly (about 3-4 minutes), while stirring occasionally.
  4. Add pork back into the pan, baste generously with the sauce and broil/grill for 1-2 minutes, or until edges are slightly charred.
  5. Garnish with parsley and serve over vegetables, rice, pasta or with a salad.

 

Pro Tips:

 

Don’t skip the marinating: Allowing the pork chops to marinate imparts a depth of flavor that makes this dish truly exceptional. Overnight marinating is the secret to tender and flavorful chops.

Thickening the sauce: If the sauce doesn’t thicken as desired, you can mix a cornstarch-water slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water) and add it to the simmering sauce to thicken it further.

 

Adjust heat to taste: The red pepper flakes add some heat to the dish. Adjust the amount according to your spice preference.
