Step 1: How to make the perfect homemade soy honey sauce.
A good sauce transforms a simple protein into a memorable meal. This soy-honey sauce is quick to make and balances sweet, salty and tangy with warm garlic and ginger.
In a small saucepan combine soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, freshly grated ginger and garlic, brown sugar and your favorite all-purpose rub. Gently whisk over low heat until the mixture begins to thicken into a glaze. Remove from heat and set aside.
Dad’s Seasonings
Great all-purpose seasoning for pork and grill cooking.
Step 2: How to grill the perfect soy honey pork chops.
To save money and get thicker, juicier chops, buy a pork loin and slice your own steaks. Season liberally with your preferred all-purpose rub to enhance the pork’s natural sweetness and savory notes.
Preheat the grill to about 400°F (medium-high) and use direct heat. Place the seasoned pork chops on the grates. Grill 1–2 minutes per side depending on thickness until the internal temperature reaches about 130°F. Brush with the soy-honey glaze and continue cooking as the sauce caramelizes and forms a glossy crust. Remove the chops from the grill when they reach 140°F internal temperature.
Let the pork chops rest 10 minutes before serving to lock in juices. Serve with extra soy-honey sauce spooned over the top.

Yes. The sauce and seasoning work equally well for oven-baked or pan-seared pork chops; adjust timing to reach the same internal temperatures mentioned above.
