Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized pork chops
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together the butter, thyme, and garlic. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the skillet is really hot, add the pork chops. Sear until golden, about 2 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Pour the garlic butter mixture over the pork chops. Place the skillet in the oven, and cook until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145ºF, about 10-14 minutes. The time depends on the thickness of your pork chops.*

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven. Using a spoon, pour some of the butter sauce left in the skillet onto the pork chops before serving.
