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

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  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.
  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.
  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.
  4. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops. Turn off the heat, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a cast-iron skillet (preferably) to pan-fry the boneless pork chops. Cast-iron skillets retain heat well and distribute it evenly, resulting in golden, perfectly pan fried pork chops. You can also use a non-stick or stainless steel skillet.
  • Use a combination of vegetable oil and butter for pan frying the pork chops.
  • Cook each side of the pork chops without turning for about 3-4 minutes, depending on their thickness. This step ensures that the pork chops achieve a golden brown color and are perfectly cooked.
  • Use fresh garlic minced with a chef's knife on your cutting board. DO NOT grate or blend the garlic.
