Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 4 bone-in pork chops evenly with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving until a deep golden crust forms.
  3. Step 3: Flip the pork chops and add 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 4 smashed garlic cloves, and 2 sprigs fresh rosemary to the pan. Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes while spooning the butter and herb mixture over the chops until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  4. Step 4: Remove pork chops to a plate and pour off excess fat from the skillet. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth to the pan and simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, scraping browned bits to make a flavorful jus.
  5. Step 5: Pour the rosemary garlic jus over the pork chops and serve immediately.
