Step 1

Pour the vegetable oil in a large skillet and turn the burner on medium/high heat.

Step 2

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Once the skillet is hot, add the pork chops. Cook uncovered for 3 minutes on each side to sear the outsides of the chops; remove the chops from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Turn the burner down to low/medium heat.

Step 5

To the skillet, add the butter and garlic. Let the garlic cook for about a minute.

Step 6

Next, stir in the honey, water, vinegar and pepper. Let cook for a few minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 7

Add the chops back to the pan and cook for 5-10 minutes, basting frequently with the sauce. The pork chops are done when they register an internal temperature of 145°F. Let rest for 3 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Thinly slice the chops and serve over a bed of rice; drizzle the remaining sauce over the pork.

Step 9

Garnish with parsley and additional crushed red pepper, if desired.
