Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat dry 4 bone-in pork chops and season both sides with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Step 3: Add the pork chops to the skillet along with 4 smashed garlic cloves and 3 fresh rosemary sprigs, searing the pork chops for 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Step 4: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork chops for 8-10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  5. Step 5: Remove the skillet from the oven and place it back on the stovetop over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine and 2 tbsp unsalted butter, stirring to deglaze the pan and create a rich sauce.
  6. Step 6: Spoon the pan sauce over the pork chops and serve with 4 lemon wedges for squeezing, adding a bright finish.
