Ingredients

  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 10 cloves garlic diced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 6 pork chops about 1/2" thick- add more time in the oven for thicker chops
  • 2 tbsp ghee or clarified butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add juice of one lemon, diced garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper into a bag with pork chops.
  2. Marinate at least 3 hours, up to one day before making.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  4. Heat a heavy cast iron pan on medium high until very hot.
  5. Add ghee until melted.
  6. Add in pork chops, without crowding the pan.
  7. Cook until well seared on each side- about 3 minutes.
  8. 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.
