Ingredients
– 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Equipment Needed
– Large skillet
– Meat thermometer
– Tongs
– Cutting board
– Sharp knife
– Plate for resting chops
Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I like to bring the pork chops to room temperature before cooking them. This helps to ensure even cooking. While they’re resting, grab a mixing bowl and combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning all over both sides of the chops, allowing the flavors to meld a bit. Meanwhile, I heat up the olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
