Meat · Main ingredient: Pork · ⏱ 28 min · Serves 5 · ~₱345 · Best for: Dinner, Lunch

Ingredients

• 1 kg Pork chops or pork sirloin, sliced 1/2-inch thick
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Calamansi juice (or lemon juice)
• 1 tsp Ground black pepper
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 pc Large onions, sliced into rings
• 3 tbsp Cooking oil
• 1 tsp Sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, marinate pork chops in soy sauce, calamansi juice, pepper, and half the garlic for at least 30 minutes.
2. Remove pork from marinade, reserving the liquid.
3. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and sear pork chops on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside.
4. In the same pan, sauté remaining garlic until golden, then add half the onion rings and sauté briefly.
5. Pour in the reserved marinade and water, bring to a boil, and return the pork chops to the pan.
6. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until pork is tender and sauce slightly reduces.
7. Add sugar if using and adjust seasoning. Add remaining raw onion rings on top just before removing from heat, letting them soften slightly in the residual heat.
8. Serve hot with steamed rice.
