Ingredients

2 thick cut, bone-in pork chops*
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons salted butter

Directions

Add the olive oil and butter to a large skillet (preferably cast iron) and place it over medium heat.
Sprinkle half the salt and pepper to one side of the pork chops. When the butters melted and it starts to look foamy, add the pork chops to the skillet, seasoned-side down. Season the other side with the remaining salt and pepper.
Allow the pork chops to sear for 5 minutes, and then flip them. Continue cooking the pork chops on the second side for 10 minutes, and then flip the pork chops one more time.
Cover the skillet, cook them for 5 minutes more, and then remove the pork chops to a plate to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
