Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help them sear properly.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, and ground mustard.
Step 4
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops, pressing it into the meat with your hands to adhere.
Step 5
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the pork chops to the skillet. Sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 7
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, basting the pork chops with the melted butter using a spoon.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the pork chops for 6-8 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 9
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
