1
Prepare the Pork Chops
Remove the Kurobuta pork chops from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2
Season the Pork
Rub the pork chops with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Sprinkle fresh rosemary over the tops.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
4
Sear the Pork Chops
Carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown.
5
Flip and Add Butter
Flip the pork chops and add the butter to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, basting the chops with the melted butter and cooking until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
6
Rest the Pork Chops
Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate and cover loosely with foil to rest for 5 minutes.

7
Plate and Garnish
Serve the pork chops on plates, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
