Soju Pork Chops Recipe

Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper then place in the skillet in the hot oil; cook until browned on both sides about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until the pork is no longer pink in the center about 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside. Add the sliced onion to the skillet; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and soju scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer until liquid as reduced about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle the sauce over the pork chops for serving.
