Instructions

Add juice of one lemon, diced garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper into a bag with pork chops.
Marinate at least 3 hours, up to one day before making.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat a heavy cast iron pan on medium high until very hot.
Add ghee until melted.
Add in pork chops, without crowding the pan.
Cook until well seared on each side- about 3 minutes.
Add to oven and cook until internal temperature reaches 145-150 degrees. If you go by the older guidelines, it used to be 160 degrees, but the USDA now says 145 is good. Note that pork can still sometimes look a touch pink even when fully cooked, so go by the temperature.
