Instructions
- Preheat the oven broiler (or grill) to medium-high heat. Season the chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking.
- Heat oil in a pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sear chops until golden on each side and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes on each side). Transfer to a plate; set aside.
- 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, broth, and vinegar. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly (about 3-4 minutes) while stirring occasionally. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if the sauce thickens too much.
- Add pork back to the pan, baste generously with the sauce, and broil/grill for 1-2 minutes or until edges are slightly charred.
- Garnish with parsley and serve over vegetables, rice, pasta, or salad.
Notes
- Sauce Consistency: If the sauce reduces too much and becomes too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or broth to adjust the consistency.
- Deglazing the Pan: After searing, don’t skip deglazing the pan with the sauce ingredients. Scrape the browned bits (fond) at the bottom of the pan as they add immense flavor to the sauce.
- Cooking Time: Thicker pork chops may require an extra minute or two on each side. Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking.
- Broiling for a Caramelized Finish: For an extra caramelized glaze, broil the chops in the oven for 1-2 minutes after cooking in the sauce. Keep a close eye to avoid burning and drying them out.
- Preheat oven to 390°F | 200°C.
- Sear seasoned chops in a hot oven-proof pan or skillet over medium-high for 2 minutes per side -- get them crisp.
- Remove chops and make your sauce following the recipe above (Step 3).
- Baste with sauce and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until you reach your desired doneness.
- Broil/grill for 2 minutes to get those caramelized edges!
