Ingredients

  • 2 /2-inch thick bone-in pork chops
  • coarse kosher salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 2/3 cup clarified butter or ghee
  • 1/4 cup sage leaves , julienned
  • 4-6 garlic cloves thinly sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Unless your pork chops are under 1-inch thick, then baking is not necessary.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or star ratings.

Notes
