Ingredients
  

4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.

    Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Set aside.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

        Sear the Pork Chops: Carefully add the pork chops to the hot skillet. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, until they develop a nice golden crust.

          Flip and Add Butter: Flip the pork chops and immediately add the garlic butter mixture to the skillet. As the butter melts, baste the pork chops with the buttery mixture, cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).

            Rest the Pork Chops: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the meat juicy.

              Serve: Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the chops and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired. Serve with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or sautéed vegetables.
