Honey Soy Glazed Pork Chops with Green Beans
Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Tongs
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and black pepper
- 12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork chops and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove them to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Toss in the green beans and cook for 4 minutes, stirring often.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Let the mixture bubble for 1 minute.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them. Cook everything together for 2 more minutes so the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chops and beans.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds right before serving.
Notes
Trim the green beans ahead so they go straight into the hot pan without extra steps. If the glaze thickens too much, add a splash of water to loosen it. Leftovers reheat nicely in a covered skillet over low heat with a little extra soy sauce to refresh the coating.
