Method
How to Make Garlic Butter Pan Seared Pork Chops
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, ensuring they’re moisture-free. Generously season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, pour in the olive oil and heat over medium-high until hot.
- Add the pork chops to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 4–5 minutes without moving them.
- Carefully flip the pork chops over and cook for an additional 4–5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic, cooking for about 1–2 minutes.
- Stir in the thyme and rosemary, cooking for an additional 30 seconds.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the garlic butter sauce over them to coat evenly.
- Transfer the pork chops to plates, drizzling them with the remaining garlic butter sauce. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
