Honey garlic pork chops.😍
Recipe
Ingredients:
▢ 15 oz (425g) center cut boneless pork chops, 3 pork chops
▢ salt
▢ ground black pepper
▢ 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
▢ 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
▢ 3 cloves garlic, minced
▢ 1 teaspoon chopped Italian parsley, for garnishing
Honey sauce:
▢ 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
▢ 2 tablespoons warm water
▢ 1/4 teaspoon salt
▢ 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
▢3 dashes cayenne pepper
Step 1: Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper. Combine all the ingredients for the Honey Sauce, stirring thoroughly to mix well.
Step 2: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the pork chops in the skillet and pan fry each side without moving for 3-4 minutes, or until they develop a golden brown crust. Flip and repeat on the other side.
Step 3: Push the pork chops to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining butter to the empty space. Once melted, add the garlic and sauté for about 10 seconds, until it just starts to turn light brown. Then, pour in the Honey Garlic Sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to a thicker consistency and turns a rich amber brown color.
Step 4: Spoon the sauce over the pork chops. Turn off the heat, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
Honey garlic pork chops are a fantastic way to bring bold flavors to your dinner table. This dish combines the sweetness of honey with aromatic garlic to create a mouth-watering glaze that complements the tender pork chops perfectly. For those who love a bit of heat, consider adding more cayenne pepper to the sauce for an extra kick. Additionally, pairing the pork chops with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables can elevate your meal's presentation and taste. Don’t forget, choosing the right cut of pork can make a significant difference. Center-cut boneless pork chops are preferred for their tenderness and quick cooking time. Ensure that your skillet is hot enough before adding the meat, as this will help to achieve that coveted golden brown crust. Lastly, let your meal rest a couple of minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute within the meat, ensuring every bite is juicy and flavorful. Enjoy your cooking adventure with this delightful recipe!
