Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Remove the pork chops from the fridge and let them come to room temperature for 20 minutes.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Peel and smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the pork chops in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until golden brown.

Step 6

Flip the pork chops and reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs to the skillet.

Step 7

Spoon the melted butter over the pork chops as they cook, basting them with the garlic-rosemary infused butter for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes on a plate tented with foil.

Step 9

Drizzle the pork chops with lemon juice before serving to brighten the flavors.

Step 10

Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
