Ingredients
For the brine
- 4 pork chops bone-in, about 1.5 inches thick
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 prig fresh Rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
For the dish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic crushed (or more if you want!)
- 1 prig fresh Rosemary leaves removed from stem and stem discarded
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
For the brine
- Place the pork chops in the bottom of a glass bowl or storage container.
- In a small pot, heat 1 cup of water to a light boil. Stir in the salt, pepper, rosemary sprig (still intact), and bay leaf until the salt is completely dissolved. Add several ice cubes until the mixture cools down.
- Pour the brine over the pork chops, then top it off with plain cool water until the meat is fully submerged. Cover and brine for 2 to 24 hours (in the fridge).
For the dish
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the pork chops from the brine, rinse them off, and pat them dry so that you can get a nice sear.
- Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the pork chops in the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and sear until golden brown on the bottom.
- Flip the pork chops over, then nestle the garlic cloves in between the pieces of meat and sprinkle the rosemary leaves on top. Season with more salt and pepper.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cook until no longer pink in the middle and a thermometer registers 145 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the meat, about 8 to 12 minutes (depending on how thick they are), and serve. I like to take mine out at 140, knowing they'll still rise in temp after they're out of the oven.
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
