# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1.5 lbs pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
02 -
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 -
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
→ Seasonings & Spices
04 -
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
05 -
Salt and pepper to taste
→ Garnish & Toppings
06 -
Fresh lemon juice
→ Optional Extras
07 -
Pinch of red pepper flakes
08 -
Dijon mustard
# Instructions:
01 -
Pat the pork chops dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Don't forget to season the pan first!
02 -
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side. Don't overcrowd the pan!
03 -
Add garlic and rosemary; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. The smell is amazing at this point!
04 -
Pour in lemon juice and scrape up browned bits. This adds so much flavor!
05 -
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through (145°F).
06 -
Remove chops, let rest, and spoon sauce over the top before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chops; it lowers the temperature and leads to steaming instead of browning.
02 -
Store leftover pork chops and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheating gently in a skillet works best.
03 -
Thyme or sage can be used in place of rosemary.
04 -
Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
