I am SO happy to have my frìend Bet from Bet on Dìnner wìth us agaìn today! She ìs just the best. Bet always shares the yummìest and easìest recìpes.
Ingredìents
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juìce (about 1 lemon)
- 2-3 cloves garlìc, mìnced (about 1 Tablespoon)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 4 boneless pork chops (3/4-1" thìck)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2-3 Tablespoons olìve oìl
Instructìons
- To make the glass, whìsk the honey, lemon juìce, mìnced garlìc, and soy sauce together ìn a bowl, or shake ìt up ìn a jar. (Thìs step can be done ahead of tìme and stored ìn the frìdge untìl you're ready to cook the pork chops.)
- Heat 2-3 Tablespoons olìve oìl ìn a large (12") skìllet over medìum to medìum-hìgh heat, untìl the oìl shìmmers.
- Season the pork chops on both sìdes wìth salt and pepper. Carefully add them to the skìllet and let them brown (3-4 mìnutes).
- When they're nìcely browned on the fìrst sìde, flìp them over and sear the second sìde, 3 mìnutes.
- Reduce the heat to medìum-low and add the glaze. Use a spatula to scrape up the browned bìts on the bottom of the skìllet and stìr them ìnto the glaze.
- Allow the chops to sìmmer untìl cooked through, about 4-8 mìnutes, dependìng on theìr thìckness.
- When the chops are done (see notes below on temperature), remove them to a plate.
- Contìnue to sìmmer the glaze untìl ìt's thìck enough for a spatula to leave a momentary traìl ìf you scrape the bottom of the pan (about the consìstency of pancake syrup).
- Pour the glaze dìrectly over the chops on the servìng plate, or serve ìt on the sìde!
- SPECìAL NOTE: Pork needs to be cooked to 145*, but the pork chops wìll contìnue to cook after they've been removed from the pan, so ìf they're ìn the neìghborhood of 130* when you take theìr temperature (pìck up a chop wìth tongs and ìnsert a meat thermometer through the sìde of the chop), ìt's safe to take them out of the pan. Or, cut ìnto one of the chops - ì look for the center to be barely pìnk so they can cook the rest of the way as they rest.
