Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Add 4 bone-in pork chops (6 oz each) and coat evenly with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 2: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove pork chops from marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes per side until an internal temperature of 145°F is reached and grill marks form.
Step 3: While pork chops cook, melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 minced garlic clove, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4: Remove pork chops from grill, spoon the garlic butter over the top, and rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
