Over medium heat, heat up a cast iron skillet. Add the olive oil, and then add the pork chops once the oil is shimmering.
4 Tablespoons Olive oil, 4 Pork chops
Cook until slightly browned and reading 145°F internally with a meat thermometer, about 5-6 minutes per side. Don't overcook them!
Remove, and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes. While they're resting, combine the remaining ingredients in the skillet and let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3 Tablespoons Lemon juice, 4 Tablespoons Honey, 4 Tablespoons Soy sauce, 1 clove Garlic
Add the pork chops back to the skillet and let simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
Serve warm, and enjoy!

Like all pork chop recipes, the cooking time is a suggestion! The most important part about cooking pork is the internal temperature! If you know pork chops as tough and dry, that's because you've only had them overcooked. Try to keep the temperature to as close to 145°F as possible.

If you'd prefer, you can also pour the sauce over the pork chops and skip simmering them in the sauce. This is a good method if the pork turned out perfectly cooked.

For even more tender pork, salt it 40 minutes to 8 hours ahead of time. Just be careful with the salt, as the soy sauce is also very salty.
