Ingredients
- 2 bone-in pork chops
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 sprigs rosemary or thyme
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Preparation Instructions
- Prep the pork—Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chops—Add olive oil and butter to a large ceramic non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When butter melts, toss in the rosemary or thyme sprigs. Sear chops for about 3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Continue flipping chops for another 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through.
- Finish and serve—Transfer chops to serving plate. Add garlic to ceramic non-stick skillet and sauté till golden brown, about 1 minute. Drizzle pork chops with garlic butter pan sauce and serve immediately.
Tips
Flip Your Chops
Unlike steaks, pork chops should be flipped frequently during cooking to ensure even cooking. This delivers the golden brown crust that transforms an ordinary chop into something spectacular.
