Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to achieve a beautiful sear.
- Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Mixing the Flavoring
- In a small bowl, blend minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper into a paste-like spread.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust.
- Add butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, spoon the buttery garlic and rosemary mixture over the pork chops.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure juicy perfection.
Finishing Touches
- Remove the chops from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
Notes
For best results, let the pork chops reach room temperature before cooking. Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness. Feel free to experiment with other herbs like fresh thyme or sage as alternatives to rosemary. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
