   Prepare the Pork Chops

   Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

   Sear the Pork Chops

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

   Combine and Simmer

   Return the pork chops to the skillet, cover, and let simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

   Finish with Butter

   Stir in the butter until melted and well combined with the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
