Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes while you prepare the herb rub.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel, then rub them evenly on both sides with the olive oil.
Sprinkle the herb mixture generously over the pork chops, pressing the rub into the meat to ensure it adheres.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling it around the skillet.
Place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a golden-brown crust forms.
Lower the heat to medium and continue cooking for another 4-6 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
