Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Stir together minced garlic, fish sauce, honey, soy sauce, black pepper, and olive oil in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Pat pork chops dry and place in a shallow dish. Pour marinade over chops, turning to coat both sides.

  3. Step 3

    Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 4 hours.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a grill or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Remove chops from marinade, letting excess drip off. Reserve marinade. Grill chops 4–5 minutes per side without moving.

  6. Step 6

    Brush chops with reserved marinade. You'll see caramelized edges and an internal temp of 145°F.

  7. Step 7

    Rest chops on a plate for 2 minutes. Serve hot with jasmine rice and pickled vegetables.
