  • bone-in porkchops, 1″ thick
  • kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Garlic clove, minced
  • sprigs fresh thyme
  • lemon, cut into 1/4″ wheels
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut in half

Directions

  1. Preheat a large cast iron pan over high heat. Pat each pork chop dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper on all sides. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan and add two pork chops. Sear on high for 5 minutes on each side. Remove the pork chops to rest while you cook the last two pork chops.
