  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pork chops
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley), for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the butter.
  3. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté briefly.
  4. Add the pork chops to the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. If desired, add fresh herbs during the last minute of cooking for added flavor.
