Pan Seared Pork Chops

• doses: 2 servings
• tempo total: 25 minutes

Ingredientes

2 bone in rib chops, or thick pork chops (bone-in, 1 ½" thick, 12 ounces each)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

¼ teaspoon salt and pepper

3 tablespoons butter

½ teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 ½ teaspoons fresh)

½ teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 ½ teaspoons fresh)

1 clove minced garlic (optional)

Instruções

Combine butter, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl. Set aside.

Dab pork chops dry with a paper towel and generously season with kosher salt & pepper.

Heat oil in a large skillet or pan (cast iron is best) over medium-high heat.

Add pork chops and sear for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Flip the chop over and sear for 2 minutes until browned.

Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook the chops until they reach 138-140°F in the thickest part of the chop, about 6-8 minutes more, turning as needed.

Remove the chops from the pan and place them on a plate to rest. Add the herbed butter to the hot pan and whisk to scrape up any brown bits in the pan. Let cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant and bubbly. Stir in minced garlic if using and cook just until fragrant.

Spoon the butter from the pan over chops and serve.
