Ingredients
4
bone-in pork chops
12 to 16 ounce, 2-inch thick
1
tablespoon
olive oil
½
teaspoon
kosher salt
¼
teaspoon
black pepper
1
Tablespoon
butter
½
teaspoon
fresh thyme
or dried
½
teaspoon
fresh rosemary
or dried
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and herbs.
Heat a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat and add the pork chops to it.
Cook the chops for 4-5 minutes on each side. Slice butter and put on top of chops.
Place the pan in the oven and cook for 5-6 minutes or until pork reaches 145°F internally.
Spoon the herbs and butter over the pork again and serve.
Notes
Preheat the cast-iron skillet before adding the chops to quickly sear the outside, and keep the juices inside.
Watch the chops closely to avoid over cooking. Use a meat thermometer, inserted into the thickest part of the chop and it should read 145°F when done.
Allow chops time to rest before serving.
