Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening the sauce)
- 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening the sauce)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork chops and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Transfer the cooked pork chops to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Whisk the ingredients together and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with water and add it to the simmering sauce. Whisk until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the honey garlic sauce over them. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, basting the pork chops with the sauce, until they are heated through and the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional) and serve hot, with the remaining sauce drizzled over the top.
