Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork Chops

    In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pork Chops

    Add the pork chops to the marinade. Ensure each chop is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Use enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan generously.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pork Chops

    Remove the pork chops from the marinade, shaking off the excess. Carefully place the chops in the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
