Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 bone-in pork loin chops
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper, (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 8 tablespoons butter, (melted)
  • 4 cloves garlic, (minced)
  • chopped fresh parsley, (for garnish)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375˚F.
  • Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe 12-inch skillet (preferably cast iron skillet) set over medium-high heat.
  • Pat dry the pork chops with paper towels.
  • Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, oregano, and thyme.
  • Sear the pork chops for about 3 minutes per side, or until browned. DO NOT crowd the skillet with the pork chops while browning them. If skillet is too small, brown the pork chops in batches.
  • In the meantime, combine the melted butter and garlic in a mixing bowl.
  • Remove skillet from heat and pour the garlic butter sauce over the pork chops.
  • Cook in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through, and internal temperature registers at 145˚F. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chops. Baste with the butter sauce halfway through cooking.
  • Remove from oven and transfer the pork chops to a serving plate; let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
  • Spoon butter sauce over the pork chops, garnish with parsley, and serve.
