Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add honey, soy sauce, water, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes to absorb the flavor.
- Serve hot with extra sauce spooned over the top.
