Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps achieve a good sear.
Step 2
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Heat a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Step 4
Place the pork chops in the skillet, ensuring they lay flat. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms, then flip.
Step 5
Add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, and rosemary sprigs to the pan. As the butter melts, use a spoon to continuously baste the pork chops with the melted butter and garlic mixture.
Step 6
Cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 7
Remove the pork chops from the pan and transfer them to a clean plate. Let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve warm and garnish with an optional sprig of rosemary for presentation.
