Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 boneless center cut pork chops, with fat trimmed off
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper
- 3–4 thyme sprigs
Instructions
- Heat up your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. While it’s heating up, season your pork chops generously on both sides with everything but the thyme.
- Add olive oil to the pan, and place your pork chops down.
- After a minute and a half, flip your chops and add the butter and thyme sprigs to the cast-iron skillet. Begin to baste.
- Flip your tender pork chops every minute and a half to get a nice even sear until they reach an internal temperature of 140° with an instant-read thermometer.
- Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
