EASY APRICOT GINGER STEAKHOUSE PORK CHOPS
30 MINS | 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 4 Boneless Pork Chops
- 1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
Apricot Ginger Glaze
- 1/2 cup apricot preserves
- 1 tbsp fresh minced ginger
- 2 tbsp lime juice or juice of one lime
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 dash Cayenne pepper (optional)
- Dash of black pepper
- 3/4 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
Preparation:
- First, preheat oven to 350F.
- In a large frying pan on med/high heat, add olive oil.
- Meanwhile, add salt, pepper and garlic powder to each side of the Hatfield® Premium Reserve Pork® Boneless Pork Chops. Add seasoned pork chops to the heated frying pan and sear pork chops on each side for 2 or so minutes.
- Next, while the pork chops are searing, make the apricot glaze by adding and stirring all ingredients into a small sauce pan on med/low heat. When it starts bubbling, within 5 minutes, remove from heat.
- Add seared pork chops with pan drippings into a 13 x 9 x 3” baking pan. Pour apricot glaze over the top of the pork chops. Bake for 25 min on 350F.
Notes: I strongly suggest using fresh thyme, ginger and lime for this recipe. It will bring delicious flavors to the delicious pork and meld well with the pork fat too. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
