Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help them sear properly.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, and ground mustard.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops, pressing it into the meat with your hands to adhere.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the pork chops to the skillet. Sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, basting the pork chops with the melted butter using a spoon.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the pork chops for 6-8 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
