Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork fillets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Place the pork fillets on a clean cutting board. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Season both sides of the pork fillets with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Swirl to coat the pan.
Once the oil is hot, place the pork fillets in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C). Remove the fillets and set them aside on a plate to rest.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt.
Stir in the minced garlic, fresh parsley, and thyme leaves. Cook for about 30 seconds to release the aromas of the herbs and garlic, being careful not to burn them.
Add the lemon juice to the butter mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the garlic herb butter over the pork fillets, ensuring each fillet is covered generously with the sauce.
Serve the pork fillets immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
