One of our customers was raving about all the meat she’d tried from us and I said, “Oh good! How’d the pork chops turn out?” She says, “Well…you know…they were really good for being pork chops. But they just feel kind of 90’s dinner. You know, with your salt and peppered pork chop, your slightly undercooked baked potato and your microwaved peas.” I knew what she meant so I decided to figure out a simple way to make them more exciting. This recipe is very quick and family approved by the husband and kids, Luke said, “Mmmm, we really need to make these more often!”
Honey Garlic Pork Chops
These turned out great in a cast iron pan but you can use what you have.
Heat your pan over medium heat and add something to prevent sticking, we used bacon grease.
Salt and pepper the pork chops (we made 4) on each side and place in the hot pan.
Cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes until browned.
Add 2 tbsp butter and 3 cloves of minced garlic into the pan with the pork chops and stir until the garlic starts to smells fragrant.
Add about 2-3 tbsp honey into the pan (don’t measure, just dump some in there).
Add a dash of salt, a splash of apple cider vinegar and 3 shakes of cayenne pepper.
Keep stirring your sauce until it starts to get thick.
Spoon it onto the pork chops and garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
