Preparation
  1. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper.
  2. Combine all the ingredients for the Honey Sauce in a bowl, stirring thoroughly to mix well.
  3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Cooking
  1. Place the pork chops in the skillet and pan fry each side without moving for 3-4 minutes, or until they develop a golden brown crust.
  2. Flip and repeat on the other side.
  3. Push the pork chops to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining butter to the empty space. Once melted, add the garlic and sauté for about 10 seconds, until it just starts to turn light brown.
  4. Pour in the Honey Garlic Sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to a thicker consistency and turns a rich amber brown color.
  5. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops. Turn off the heat, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Let pork chops sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Adjust honey or vinegar for desired taste.
