Servings: 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 bone-in pork loin chops
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 8 tablespoons butter melted
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe 12-inch skillet (preferably a cast-iron skillet) over medium-high heat.
- Season the pork chops. Pat dry the pork chops with paper towels and season them with salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, oregano, and thyme.
- Cook. Sear the pork chops for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until browned. Do not crowd the skillet with the pork chops while browning them. If the skillet is too small, brown the chops in batches.
- Make the garlic butter sauce. In the meantime, combine the melted butter and garlic in a mixing bowl. Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the garlic butter sauce over the pork chops.
- Bake. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the pork chops for 12 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature registers at 145˚F. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chops. Baste with the butter sauce halfway through cooking.
- Rest, then serve. Remove the pork chops from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate; let them rest for 5 minutes before serving and cutting. Spoon the butter sauce over the pork chops, garnish with parsley, and serve.
