Instructions

Step 1: Season 4 bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick, 6 oz each) evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, then add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F). Remove and keep warm.
Step 3: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and stir in 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp lemon juice, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and becomes syrupy.
Step 4: Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl, mixing until smooth to create the herb sauce.
Step 5: Drizzle the honey-ginger glaze over the pork chops and serve alongside the herb sauce for a fresh and vibrant contrast.
