Pork Chop Recipe

Pork Chop Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork Chops

   Take the bone-in pork chops out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

2. 2

   Preheat the Pan

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering, which should take about 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Season the Pork Chops

   In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each pork chop.

4. 4

   Sear the Pork Chops

   Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the pan. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a nice crust.

5. 5

   Flip and Cook

   Flip the pork chops using tongs and add fresh rosemary sprigs to the pan if using. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

6. 6

   Rest the Pork Chops

   Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the pork chops garnished with lemon wedges. Enjoy your perfectly cooked pork chops!
