Ingredients
- 6 pork loin pork chops (cut 1 inch thick)
- 1/2 tsp vegetable oil
Pork chop dry seasoningn mix
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground white pepper
- 1/4 tsp dry mustard
- 1/4 tsp ground sage
- 1/4 tsp ground cumun
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme (crushed)
For the browned garlic butter
- 6 Tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic (pressed)
- 1 tsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and brown on both sides, about 1 minute per side. I recommend browning three pork chops at a time as browning them all at the same time causes overcrowding and poor browning.
- Transfer the chops to a baking sheet lined with foil and let rest for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine all of the dry seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Sprinkle with the dry seasoning mix on both sides and rub into the meat with your fingertips.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145F. Remove from the oven.
- Transfer the pork chops to a warm serving platter, cover loosely with a piece of foil and let rest.
- In the meantime, heat butter in a small saucepan until melted. Add the garlic and cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, or until the foam just starts to turn brown. Stir in parsley, hot sauce, lemon juice and black pepper. Cook until the sauce is lightly browned.
- Take off the heat and immediately drizzle over the pork chops and serve.
