In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and vegetable oil to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable freezer bag or airtight container.
Pour the prepared marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated.
If using for OAMC purposes, seal the bag or container tightly, label with cooking instructions, and freeze. The pork chops can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When ready to cook, thaw the pork chops completely in the refrigerator overnight.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat, and grease lightly with oil if necessary.
Cook the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Set aside to rest for 3 minutes before serving.
For a thicker sauce, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Slowly add the slurry to the simmering marinade, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
Serve the pork chops with the thickened honey sauce drizzled on top. Pair with rice, potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
