Skillet Garlic Butter Pork Chops and Green Beans
Description
Skillet Garlic Butter Pork Chops and Green Beans features bone-in pork chops seasoned with salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper, cooked in salted butter to create a flavorful crust. Alongside the pork chops, fresh green beans are sautéed until tender-crisp and tossed with minced garlic that melds into the butter, imparting a subtle aromatic flavor. This method allows the pork chops to remain juicy inside while developing a nicely browned exterior, and the green beans provide a textural contrast with their gentle snap.
The garlic butter sauce spooned over the pork chops enhances the richness and connects the components on the plate. Seasoning the green beans directly in the pan with some of the reserved salt and pepper ensures balanced seasoning throughout. This one-pan meal promotes ease without sacrificing layers of taste.
Serve the pork chops hot with the green beans right from the skillet, which keeps the dish warm and fresh. The recipe calls for monitoring the pork’s internal temperature to ensure it reaches a safe 145°F (63°C), a helpful tip for reliably cooked but moist meat.
Ingredients
- 2 pork chops 1/2 inch thick, bone-in, center cut
- 1 teaspoon salt divided
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper divided
- 1/2 cup butter salted
- 1 pound green beans trimmed
- 1 tablespoon garlic about 3 cloves, minced
Instructions
- Season both sides of 2 bone-in center cut pork chops with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Melt 1/2 cup salted butter in the skillet. On one side of the skillet, add the pork chops and sear for 3 to 5 minutes per side.
- On the other half of the skillet, add 1 pound green beans and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic to the butter in the skillet. Stir into the green beans and cook for 1 minute before removing the skillet from the stove.
- Spoon garlic butter over the pork chops. Check the internal temperature of the pork chops; continue cooking if needed until they reach 145°F (63°C).
- Serve hot. Season to taste.
