Main Ingredients
- 15 oz 15 oz (425g) center cut boneless pork chops (3 pork chops)
- 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons 2 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted) 1 tablespoon for frying, 1 tablespoon for sauce
- 3 cloves 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon chopped Italian parsley (for garnishing)
Honey Sauce Ingredients
- 2.5 tablespoons 2 1/2 tablespoons honey Adjust sweetness as desired
- 2 tablespoons 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1/4 teaspoon 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 dashes 3 dashes cayenne pepper
Seasoning
- Salt For seasoning pork chops

Instructions
Preparation
- Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper.
- Combine all the ingredients for the Honey Sauce, stirring thoroughly to mix well.
Cooking
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Place the pork chops in the skillet and pan fry each side without moving for 3-4 minutes, or until they develop a golden brown crust. Flip and repeat on the other side.
- Push the pork chops to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining butter to the empty space. Once melted, add the garlic and sauté for about 10 seconds, until it just starts to turn light brown.
- Pour in the Honey Garlic Sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to a thicker consistency and turns a rich amber brown color.
- Spoon the sauce over the pork chops. Turn off the heat, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when frying. Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after cooking for better juiciness. You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar if desired.
