Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.25 cup Bourbon
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Orange slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Once the oil is shimmering, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet, allowing it to melt.

Step 5

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add orange juice, orange zest, bourbon, honey, and soy sauce to the skillet. Whisk to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping once, until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Uncover the skillet and let the glaze reduce for another 2-3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the pork chops to coat them evenly.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and orange slices, if desired.
