Pan-Seared Pork Chops Ingredients
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (1-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons Stella On Fire Co.’s Savory Delight seasoning
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
1. Prep the Pork Chops
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Important!
- Generously rub each chop with Savory Delight seasoning, covering both sides and start searing.
2. Heat the Pan
- Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat.
- Add the oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and foam slightly.
3. Sear the Pork Chops
- Place the pork chops in the hot pan. Sear for 3–4 minutes without moving until a golden crust forms.
- Flip the chops and reduce the heat to medium. Add garlic and thyme to the pan.
4. Baste for Flavor
- Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted butter mixture over the chops. This keeps them juicy and infuses the flavor of Savory Delight deeper into the meat.
5. Check for Doneness
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C) but most prefer a medium temperature of around 155 degrees. However, cook them to whatever temperature you prefer.
- Note: If the pork chops’ internal temperature does not reach your desired doneness level after searing, put them in the oven at 400 degrees for a few minutes.
- Remove from the pan and let the chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
