Description
Wait… you have this beautiful piece of meat and you are going to cook it HOW? Meet Butter Sage Pork Chops, foodie friends. A meal the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 2 1 1/2-inch thick bone-in pork chops
- coarse kosher salt
- ground black pepper
- 2/3 cup clarified butter or ghee
- 1/4 cup sage leaves , julienned
- 4-6 garlic cloves thinly sliced
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Unless your pork chops are under 1-inch thick, then baking is not necessary.
- Liberally season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat a seasoned cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chops, do not move, allow to brown on each side for 2 minutes, flipping 2-3 times to evenly brown.
- Add the clarified butter/ghee, sage and garlic to the hot pan, spooning the melted butter over each pork chop. It might sizzle a litte and that is fine.
- Transfer the cast iron pan to oven for 5 minutes. Check the internal temperature of pork to make sure it has reached 145°F. Allow the pork to rest for an additional 5 minutes (I know, it is hard, they are gorgeous) before serving, making sure each has a healthy topping of crispy sage and garlic.
