Ingredients
- 4 thick-cut boneless pork chops see notes
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
Garlic Honey Herb Butter
- 4 tablespoons salted butter at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon minced parsley
- 2 cloves garlic grated on a microplane or very finely minced
Instructions
- Heat a medium-sized cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Dry the pork chops with paper towels then season them on both sides with Italian seasoning, sea salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle half of the oil over one side of the pork chops and use your fingers to spread it around.
- Add the pork chops to the hot pan oiled side down. Sear the chops for 4-5 minutes, or until a golden crust forms. Rub the remaining oil over the top side of the pork chops then flip them over. Sear them for another 3-4 minutes then remove them from the pan and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- While they're resting, mix the softened butter with honey, garlic, and parsley. When you're ready to eat, add a dab of butter on top of each pork chop before serving.

Notes
- Pork chops need to be cooked to 145 degrees Fahrenheit to be safe to eat. We like to take our pork chops out of the pan at 140 degrees as they will rise to above 145 degrees while resting.
- If you check your pork chops using an instant-read meat thermometer and they need a few more minutes to come up to temperature, turn the heat down to medium to prevent the crust from burning.
- If you have thin pork chops, we recommend that you check out our post on how to cook thin pork chops and use that recipe instead!
