Restaurant Style Pan Seared Porterhouse Pork Chops with Rosemary

The pork chops are beautifully seared to perfection, infused with the fragrant flavors of rosemary and thyme. Serve them as a main course for any special occasion or a comforting family dinner. Here’s how to make it.

Ingredients:

2 Porterhouse pork chops (about 1.5 inches thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions:

Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help in creating an even cook.
Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Carefully add the pork chops to the skillet. Sear for approximately 4-5 minutes on one side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Turn the chops over and add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.
Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, spooning the flavorful oil and herbs over the chops. This will enhance the flavor and moisture of the pork.
In the last minute of cooking, add the unsalted butter to the skillet. As it melts, use a spoon to baste the pork chops with the melted butter and herb-infused oil.
Once cooked to your desired level of doneness—medium is about 145°F—remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, drizzled with the pan sauce and additional fresh herbs if desired.

Enjoy this gourmet meal that’s simple enough for a weeknight dinner but elegant for entertaining guests. The combination of pork chops cooked with rosemary and thyme is bound to become a favorite!
