Ingredients
  

  • 4 pork chops 1 inch thick, about 8 oz each, bone-in unless boneless is specified
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

  1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the chops for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. They will finish in the herb butter.
  4. Remove pork chops from the pan and set aside.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low; melt the butter and add garlic, rosemary and thyme.
  6. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  7. Return pork chops to the pan and spoon the garlic herb butter over them.
  8. Cook gently, turning and basting, until the thickest part reaches 145°F, about 3-7 minutes; stop as soon as it reaches temperature.
  9. Before removing the chops from heat, check the thickest part away from bone reaches 145°F with an instant-read thermometer; continue cooking gently if needed. Cooking times are estimates.
  10. Let the pork chops rest for 3 minutes before serving.
