Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Use tongs to flip them gently.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.

Step 6

Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the pork chops with the melted herb butter mixture for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Check that the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches at least 145°F (63°C) using a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Drizzle the lemon juice over the pork chops and give them a final baste with the herb butter.

Step 9

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite side dish, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
