Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Unless your pork chops are under 1-inch thick, then baking is not necessary.
Liberally season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat a seasoned cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chops, do not move, allow to brown on each side for 2 minutes, flipping 2-3 times to evenly brown.
Add the clarified butter/ghee, sage and garlic to the hot pan, spooning the melted butter over each pork chop. It might sizzle a litte and that is fine.
Transfer the cast iron pan to oven for 5 minutes. Check the internal temperature of pork to make sure it has reached 145°F. Allow the pork to rest for an additional 5 minutes (I know, it is hard, they are gorgeous) before serving, making sure each has a healthy topping of crispy sage and garlic.
