KOREAN STYLE PORK CHOPS

 

 

Ingredients

4 NZ pork chops (boneless) or NZ pork steaks
1 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp ginger, minced
2 tsp sriracha
Black pepper to taste

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C. Mix together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and sriracha sauce. Pour over the pork and marinate for 20 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add pork chops, without marinade and cook for five minutes without turning, or until the pork is nicely browned. Turn the pork over and pour the remaining marinade over them. Cook for another five minutes.

Place the skillet into the oven and cook for 10 minutes, until the pork is completely cooked through and the sauce is sticky. For thinner cuts of pork, you may not need to finish cooking them in the oven.

Serve with kimchi, white rice and steamed greens.
