Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter with 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 bone-in pork chops (about 6 oz each) and season both sides with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Step 3: Sear pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove skillet from heat, spread garlic herb butter evenly over the top of each chop.
  4. Step 4: Transfer skillet to preheated oven and roast pork chops for 8-10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and butter is melted and fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Let chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute and flavors to deepen.
