Creating Garlic Butter Pan Seared Pork Chops can be easily achieved by following these simple steps:

1. Prepare Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

3. Sear the Chops: Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to create a nice crust.

4. Flip the Chops: Carefully flip the pork chops and sear for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side.

5. Add Butter and Garlic: Reduce heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic to the pan.

6. Cook with Butter: As the butter melts, tilt the pan slightly to allow the butter to pool. Use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the pork chops repeatedly for 2-3 minutes.

7. Check Doneness: Pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to check.

8. Rest the Chops: Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. This resting period helps keep them juicy.

9. Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.

These simple instructions will guide you towards creating a dish that’s both flavorful and visually appealing. The process is quick, and the results are sure to impress!
