Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups peaches (ripe, pitted, and diced)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 sprig fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper, and the garlic powder. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the diced peaches, honey, apple cider vinegar, Sriracha sauce, ground cinnamon, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Stir well and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches break down and the mixture thickens. Add the water to adjust the consistency if needed.
Step 3
Once the peach glaze is cooked, remove it from heat and use a blender or immersion blender to puree it until smooth. Set the glaze aside.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Step 5
Carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Lower the heat to medium to prevent burning.
Step 6
Brush the peach glaze generously over the pork chops. Cover and continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through and reapplying more glaze, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Remove the pork chops from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute for tender meat.
Step 8
Serve the pork chops with additional peach glaze drizzled on top and garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
