Ingredients
- 2 bone-in pork chops ,1 inch thickness
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- ¼ cup olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoon thyme, chopped and divided
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- fresh thyme and parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the herb paste evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan. Once hot add the pork chops.
- Lightly press the pork chops down into the pan to get a nice sear. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then flip and sear the other side. Cook the sides of the pork chops if needed depending on the thickness of the pork.
- Turn the heat down to medium, and cook the pork chops until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees Fahrenheit. It will take about 4 to 6 minutes depending on the thickness of the chops. Keep flipping every minute for even cooking.
- Turn off the heat and add the remaining talespoon of thyme and butter to the pan.
- Once the butter is melted tilt the pan and pour the butter over the top of the pork chops several times to baste.
- Transfer pork to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving for carving.
