  • 4 pieces bone-in pork chops Choose about 1-inch thick chops for best results
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For searing the pork chops
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced For flavoring the butter sauce

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  4. Transfer the pork chops to a baking dish.
  5. In the same skillet, add garlic and butter, cooking until fragrant.
  6. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the pork chops.
  7. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Notes

Let the pork chops sit out for about 20 minutes before cooking to help them cook evenly. For added flavor, try adding a splash of soy sauce or honey to the garlic butter.
