Preparation

Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 380 degrees.
Sprinkle the pork chops well with salt and pepper to your liking.
Melt 5 small spoonfuls of butter in a microwave or store to make the butter sauce. Feel free to add more if desired.

Add the thyme and chopped garlic to the melted butter. Stir well and keep this aside to rest.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops to the hot oil and sear for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Pour the garlic butter mixture over the pork chops and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake the pork chops until the internal temperature reached about 145 to 150 degrees.
Remove the pan from the oven when the pork chops are done. Spoon over the butter sauce left in the pan.
Serve right away.

Enjoy!
