Servings: 4
Equipment
- Meat Thermometer
- 10-Inch Skillet
Ingredients
- 4 Pork Chops
- ½ Cup Soy Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Ginger
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
- Chopped Green Onions optional
- White Sesame Seeds optional
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Add the pork chops to the bowl, ensuring they are fully or nearly fully submerged in the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Heat a pan to medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest for 10 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and white sesame seeds, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For maximum flavor, marinate the meat overnight (you can keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days).
- Leftover pork chops can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
- Don’t overcook—use a thermometer and pull the meat at 145°F for juicy chops.
- Prefer a sweeter taste? Add extra honey or swap it with brown sugar.
- Want some heat? Mix in a little sriracha or crushed red pepper to the marinade.
