Ingredients

4 pieces boneless pork chops
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Heat oil in a cast iron pan. Add seasoned pork chops and pan sear for 5 minutes on each side. Using a pair of kitchen tongs, hold the pork side ways to sear on both sides as well.
Transfer to a plate. Turn the heat down to medium low and add in butter and garlic. Sauté until fragrant (1 minute).
Add honey, dijon mustard and coconut amigos to the pan and stir with a spatula scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook this sauce for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Add the pork chops back into the pan and baste with honey garlic sauce. Let the pork cook in sauce for about 4-5 minutes until fully cooked and internal temperature is 145F degrees.

Notes

Tips and tricks

Always bring them down to room temperature - Room temperature meat will always cook more evenly than meat straight from the fridge or freezer.
Trim the fat - Pork loin chops aren’t typically fatty, but if you’re using a cheaper chop like blade chop, rib chop, or sirloin chop, you may need to trim the excess fat.
Let them rest - Let the pork chops rest for 10 or 15 minutes after cooking. This will seal in the juices and make every bite so much more flavorful!
A note on cookware - A large cast iron skillet is ideal for searing meats over high heat. No cast iron at home? Use a heavy-bottomed stainless steel frying pan instead.
