Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 chopped rosemary sprigs, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest.
Step 2: Rub this garlic-rosemary mixture evenly over 4 bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick, about 6 oz each). Let them rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Step 3: Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 4: Add 2 tbsp unsalted butter to the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for 8-10 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in juices.
