Pork Chop Ingredients
PORK CHOPS: Choose pork chops that are cut nice and thick, and let the pan-roasting process do all the work once they are seared! Bone-in or boneless chops will work, but bone-in looks more impressive on a plate. Add a few slices of sautéed red or green apples as a colorful and delicious accompaniment.
BUTTER: Melted butter is a perfect sauce for pan-seared pork chops because it's added at the very end and it soaks right into the meat.
HERBS: Rosemary gives the pork chops a fragrant, almost woody flavor, but fresh sprigs of thyme, oregano, or sprinkle on Herbs de Provence (a dried combination of savory, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, and oregano). For a completely different flavor profile, this robust Southwest Seasoning spice blend makes a completely different recipe out of seared pork chops!

What To Serve With Pork Chops

Tips for Success!
- PRO TIP: Preheat cast-iron skillet before adding the meat to the pan so it is instantly seared on the outside, sealing the juices inside!
- For best results, always use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the meat. Insert the thermometer in the thickest part of the chop and it should read 145°F. Let the meat rest before slicing so the juices don't run out.
