Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Chops

    Pat the bone-in pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help achieve a good sear.

  2. 2

    Season the Pork Chops

    In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork chops evenly.

  3. 3

    Add Olive Oil

    Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned chops and rub it in to ensure an even coating. Let the chops sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to get hot before adding the pork chops.

  2. 5

    Sear the Pork Chops

    Once the skillet is hot, place the pork chops in the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a nice golden-brown crust.

  3. 6

    Add Rosemary

    During the last minute of cooking, add fresh rosemary to the skillet, allowing the oils to infuse into the pork.

  4. 7

    Check Internal Temperature

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They should reach at least 145°F (63°C).

  5. 8

    Rest the Pork Chops

    Remove the pork chops from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Cover with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate and Garnish

    Serve the pork chops on a plate with lemon wedges on the side. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for added flavor and color.
