Main Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Pork Chops
Start by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Season the Chops
Rub each pork chop with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 3
Add Garlic and Rosemary
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh rosemary. Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped rosemary over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Cook the Pork Chops
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and have a nice golden-brown crust.

Rest the Chops
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices.
