Dill and Honey Pork Chops

Recipe View Prepare the pork chops: Gently pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

Recipe View Season (2 minutes): Lightly season both sides of the pork chops with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Recipe View First Honey & Dill Layer (3 minutes): Spread approximately 1/2 teaspoon of honey evenly onto one side of each pork chop. Sprinkle a generous pinch of dried dill (or about 1 teaspoon of fresh dill) over the honey.

Recipe View Sear the First Side (5 minutes): Heat a large skillet (cast iron works best) over medium heat until it's hot but not smoking. Place the pork chops honey-side down in the skillet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. Sear for about 5 minutes, or until a golden-brown crust forms.

Recipe View Second Honey & Dill Layer (2 minutes): While the first side is searing, coat the top sides of the chops with the remaining honey and dill.

Recipe View Sear the Second Side (5 minutes): Flip the pork chops and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chop to ensure accuracy.

Recipe View Rest (3 minutes): Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 3 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
