Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork loin chops at least 1 inch thick
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 prigs fresh Rosemary
- 1 medium red onion cut into 1/2-inch wedges
Orange sauce:
- 2/3 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Slurry:
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons orange juice or water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sauce ingredients, stir and bring to a boil, immediately reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until syrupy, about 10-15 minutes.
- If the sauce is too thin, mix the orange juice with the cornstarch to create a slurry. Add the mixture to the saucepan, stir, and simmer for a few more minutes.
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, once hot, and oil. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned.
- Add the rosemary and onion to the pan, then pour the orange sauce over the pork.
- Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven or until a thermometer inserted in the center of the pork chops registers 135-140 degrees.
- Remove the pan from the oven, baste the meat with the sauce, and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with rice.
