Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork Chops

    Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic and Rosemary

    Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh rosemary finely.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Pork Chops

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Rosemary

    After searing, add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the garlic from burning.

  3. 5

    Baste with Butter

    Add the butter to the skillet. As it melts, spoon the melted butter over the pork chops for flavor. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  4. 6

    Rest the Pork Chops

    Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Garnish

    Serve the pork chops on plates, garnished with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
