Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter.

Step 5

Add the honey, soy sauce, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the sauce is well combined and starts to bubble gently, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the meat. Reduce the heat to low and let the chops simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Turn the chops occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chops with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm with sides of your choice.
