Preparation

  • Place the pork chops in a large airtight bag and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, put the rest of the ingredients, season salt and pepper then mix. Pour 3/4 of the marinade over the pork, toss the meat to coat, remove the air from the bag and seal. Reserve in the fridge for 3 hours. Keep the rest of the marinade in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Preheat a ridged cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add a thin stream of olive oil. Place the meat and sear 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place on a baking sheet, place in the oven and continue cooking, if necessary, until the meat is slightly pink. Place on a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve and drizzle with the rest of the sauce!
