Cooking Instructions
- 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
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
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
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
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.
