Easy Pan Seared Pork Chops
Learn how to cook a pork chop to perfection!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops thick in size
- Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp olive oil for searing
Instructions
STEP 1
- Pat chops dry with the paper towel and sprinkle them very generously with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
STEP 2
- Heat your skillet to medium high and add the olive oil. When it's shimmering hot and not a moment before, add your chops.
STEP 3
- Sear on one side, without moving them at all, until they are nice and golden brown on the first side, about 3-5 minutes. Flip and sear the other side until browned.
STEP 4
- The easiest way to check if the pork chop is done is to use meat thermometer. When they reach an internal temperature of 135 F degrees they are done.
STEP 5
- Remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 10 minutes, during which time they will continue cooking with the residual heat and will eventually reach 145 F degrees.
STEP 6
- Do remember that cooking time can vary based on the thickness of the pork chops.
