Tantalize your taste buds with these sweet and savory Hoisin glazed pork chops. Perfect for a quick, delicious dinner that will satisfy the whole family!
As the pork chops sit for about 30 minutes, allow them to come to room temperature and lightly salt on all sides.
In the meantime, in a small sauce pot on the stovetop over medium heat, combine hoisin sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger with a whisk. Stir together until everything is thoroughly mixed and bring up to a boil before reducing to a simmer. Allow the mixture to simmer for several minutes until it starts to thicken.
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat to about 350F, adding a tablespoon of oil. Once the skillet was hot, I laid down the pork chops and spooned over about a tablespoon of glaze on the top of each. Spread out the sauce evenly across the top surface. After allowing them to cook for about 5 minutes, I flipped them over and repeated the process on the other side.
Using an instant read thermometer is the best way to ensure your steak is cooked properly. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the steak and make sure the internal temperature has reached 140F. Once it reaches this temperature, remove from heat and let it rest on a plate tented with tinfoil for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving. This gives the steak time to finish cooking and will result in a juicy and delicious meal.
