Ingredients:
4 boneless pork chops, approximately 3/4-inch thick
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons of olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup of honey
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and black pepper.
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Place the pork chops in the pan and sear until golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (about 7-8 minutes on each side). Remove from the pan and keep warm.
Lower the heat to medium. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté until it begins to soften and become aromatic, about 1 minute.
Mix in the honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes, ensuring to scrape up the brown bits from the pan for extra flavor.
Return the pork chops to the pan, spooning the sauce over them to coat thoroughly. Allow to simmer for an additional minute, or until the sauce has thickened into a glaze.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley as a garnish before serving.
