restaurantInstructions

Season the chops

Pat the pork chops completely dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes so they sear evenly.

Sear

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork chops and sear without moving for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until deep golden brown and cooked to 145°F (63°C) internally.

Make the garlic butter

Transfer the chops to a plate to rest. Reduce the heat to medium, add the sliced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in the butter until it melts into a foamy sauce.
