Ingredients
- 2 medium pork chops
- Salt + pepper
- 60g melted butter
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 15ml extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 220°C / 428°F.
- Season pork chops with salt + pepper.
- Melt butter. Stir in garlic, thyme, lemon juice.
- Sear chops 2 mins per side in hot skillet with olive oil.
- Pour butter mix into skillet. Baste pork.
- Transfer skillet to oven. Bake 10–14 mins until 145°F inside.
- Rest 5 min. Spoon butter over. Eat like it saved your night.
Notes
- Don’t crowd the pan. Two chops max per skillet. Give them space to brown.
- Use a spoon to baste, not pour. Keeps the butter hot and moving.
- Rest them on a warm plate, not a cutting board. Helps keep the crust from steaming.
- Save the pan juices. Spoon over roasted veg or rice. Waste nothing.
