Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
4 center-cut boneless pork chops - 1/2-inch thick
2 teaspoons canola oil, or as needed
salt to taste
1 large sweet onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

  • Grill the chops on the hottest part of the grill until lightly charred and crusty, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Move the chops to a cooler area of the grill, and continue to cook, brushing both sides generously with the honey-soy glaze, until chops are no longer pink inside, about 3 to 4 more minutes.

Tips for Making the Best Soy and Honey Pork Chops:

  • Choose high-quality pork chops. Look for pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick and have good marbling. This will ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Tenderize the pork chops. You can do this by pounding them with a meat mallet or by using a fork to poke holes in them. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat and make it more tender.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what gives the pork chops their delicious flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains a good balance of sweet, salty, and savory ingredients. The recipe in the article uses a marinade made with soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  • Marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the meat and flavor it thoroughly. You can marinate the pork chops for longer if you have time, but 30 minutes is the minimum amount of time needed.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chops from drying out. Cook the chops for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately. Soy and honey pork chops are best served hot. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, for a pop of color.

Conclusion:

Soy and honey pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make main course. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new pork chop recipe, give soy and honey pork chops a try.
