Ingredients
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic (peeled and smashed)
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 3 tablespoons honey (such as acacia)
- 3 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
- 4 bone in center cut pork loin chops (about 12 ounces each)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- As seen on: Giada In Italy, Episode 3. My Brother Would Love This.
- In a small sauce pan, combine the balsamic, garlic cloves and thyme sprigs. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the honey and simmer another 3 to 4 minutes or until the mixture has thickened slightly. Stir in the butter and set aside.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium high heat.
- Season the pork chops evenly on both sides with the salt and pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and place on the hot grill pan. Grill for 5 minutes on the first side or until nicely browned. Flip the chops and grill for an additional 5 minutes on the second side. Baste the chops with some of the sauce and continue to baste and flip for an additional 5 minutes or until the outside of the meat is caramelized and slightly charred and the meat registers 150 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. Remove the chops to a platter and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Serve drizzled with the remaining sauce. SaveSave
