Como fazer Balsamic Citrus Pork Chops
- Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons orange juice (or a mix of orange and lemon juice), 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme until completely smooth.
- Set the balsamic glaze aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoned pork chops to the hot skillet.
- Sear the chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
- Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Pour the balsamic glaze over the pork chops in the skillet.
- Cover the skillet and simmer the chops for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Thicker chops will require longer cooking time.
- If desired, broil for 1-2 minutes to create a slightly caramelized glaze.
- Serve immediately, spooning the delicious sauce over the pork chops.
