Soju Pork Chops

Directions

1. 1
   Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over high heat.
2. 2
   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.
3. 3
   Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes more.
4. 4
   An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
5. 5
   Remove pork chops from the skillet, and set aside.
6. 6
   Add the sliced onion to the skillet; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
7. 7
   Stir in the lemon juice and soju, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
8. 8
   Simmer until liquid as reduced, about 2 minutes.
9. 9
   Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle the sauce over the pork chops for serving.
