Combining the savory flavors of soy sauce, the tang of vinegar, and the sweetness of honey, these Honey Garlic Teriyaki Pork Chops are a delightful and easy-to-make dish that can be perfect for any dinner occasion. Marinated to perfection and cooked just right, these pork chops offer a delicious balance of flavors that will make your taste buds dance.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, and garlic powder. Stir thoroughly until the honey is fully dissolved and the ingredients are well mixed.
2. Prepare the Pork:
- Trim any excess fat from the pork fillet. Cut the fillet into 3/4 to 1-inch thick chops.
3. Marinate the Pork Chops:
- Place the pork chops in a sealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, making sure they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
- Allow the pork chops to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. For best results, marinate for several hours or overnight to let the flavors fully penetrate the meat.
4. Cooking the Pork Chops:
- Grill Method: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F or 190°C to 200°C). Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting the excess marinade drip off.
- Grill the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and have nice grill marks.

- Stovetop Method: Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting the excess marinade drip off.
- Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and are nicely browned.
5. Rest the Meat:
- Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate and tent them loosely with aluminum foil. Let them rest for about 3-5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it tender and flavorful.
6. Serve:
- Serve the honey garlic teriyaki pork chops hot. They pair wonderfully with steamed rice, mixed vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- For a deeper flavor, let the pork marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

- If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer the leftover marinade in a saucepan until it reduces and thickens, then drizzle over the cooked pork chops.

- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or rice to complement the flavors of the teriyaki pork.

Honey Garlic Teriyaki Pork Chops are an easy and flavorful dish that combines the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Whether you marinate the pork fillets for just 30 minutes or overnight, the end result is a tender and delicious meal that pairs well with a variety of side dishes. Follow these tips for an even more enhanced dining experience, and enjoy this delightful recipe with your family and friends.
