This recipe uses the center cut of bone-in pork loin, cut into 4 patties. The pork is grilled in a sweet and sour Italian agrodolce sauce, made with balsamic vinegar and honey, along with garlic, thyme, and butter for a glossy, thick flavor. Baste the patties with the sauce constantly while frying to create a delicious, luscious crust. The remaining sauce can be drizzled over the finished meat or used as a dipping sauce.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Combine the vinegar, garlic, and thyme in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Continue to simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the honey and continue to simmer at a low simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, another 3-4 minutes. Stir in the butter and set aside.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle the patties evenly on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and place on a hot grill pan. Cook on one side until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Flip the patties over and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side. Brush the patties with a little sauce and continue brushing and turning until the meat is browned and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (65°C) on a meat thermometer. Transfer the pork to a platter and let rest for 10 minutes. Serve drizzled with the remaining sauce.
