End Cut Pork Chop
Ingredients:
– 4 end-cut pork chops
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. This will help enhance the flavor as they cook.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. This will help lock in the juices and give a nice texture to the chops.
3. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
4. In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic for about a minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in the soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
6. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes until slightly reduced.
7. Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them with the glaze. Make sure each chop is coated well for maximum flavor.
8. Cover the skillet and let the pork chops cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. Be sure not to overcook them to keep them tender and juicy.
9. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and ensure a juicy bite.
10. Serve the End Cut Pork Chops hot, garnished with some fresh herbs or a sprinkle of thyme for an extra touch of flavor. Pair them with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete and delicious meal.
There you have it – a flavorful and easy-to-make End Cut Pork Chop recipe that is sure to become a family favorite in no time. Whether you’re looking to impress guests or simply treat yourself to a delicious meal, these pork chops will delight your taste buds with every bite. Enjoy!
