Pork Loin Chops with Garlic/Rosemary Butter Sauce

This is absolutely delicious! We served it with broccoli and mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

1 lb pork loin chops
2 tbsp olive oil
 
For the butter sauce

1/2 stick butter melted
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped

Parsley for garnish

Directions
Remove pork chop from fridge and leave out at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Make the butter sauce first
Melt 1/2 stick butter
Stir in 3 cloves garlic minced and 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Make 4 slashes in the fat of the chop without piercing the meat, this prevents the chop from curling up when searing.
Generously sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chop
In a cast iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium high heat
Once the oil is really hot, drop the chop into the skillet and sear for two minutes or until browned, flip and continue to sear for one minute, cover the top of the chop with the butter sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and continue to cook for six minutes. Using a thermometer the temperature should read 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove and let rest, the chop will continue to cook and should raise to 145 degrees F.  Sprinkle parsley leaves over the top and serve with apple sauce.
