Teriyaki Pork Chops

Recipe View In a medium bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, garlic salt, and ground black pepper until well combined. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or on a deep plate. Pour 1/2 cup of the teriyaki mixture over the chops, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Flip the chops several times to ensure even coverage. Cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor. Reserve the remaining 1/4 cup of marinade for later use. (Marinating time: 30 minutes - 2 hours)

Recipe View When ready to cook, remove the pork chops from the marinade and gently shake off any excess. Discard the used marinade to prevent contamination.

Recipe View Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place the marinated pork chops into the hot skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cover the skillet and cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the chops are nicely browned on the bottom. (Cook time: 15 minutes)

Recipe View Flip the pork chops and continue to cook, covered, for another 10 minutes, or until they are no longer pink in the center and the internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the reserved 1/4 cup of teriyaki mixture over the cooked pork chops. Cover the skillet and let the chops simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and create a delicious glaze. (Simmer time: 5 minutes)
