🍍 Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious Pineapple Ginger Pork Chops:
- 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- Fresh pineapple slices or chunks (optional, for garnish)
👨‍🍳 Instructions
1. Season the Pork Chops
Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Make the Pineapple Ginger Glaze
In a small bowl, combine:
- Pineapple juice
- Soy sauce
- Brown sugar
- Ginger
- Garlic
Mix well and set aside.
3. Sear the Pork Chops
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside (they don’t have to be fully cooked yet).
4. Simmer the Sauce
Pour the pineapple ginger mixture into the same skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 4–5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
Optional: For a thicker glaze, stir 1 teaspoon of cornstarch into a tablespoon of cold water and mix it into the sauce.
5. Return Pork Chops to the Pan
