Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick, 10 to 12 oz each)
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chops dry, coat with the 1 tbsp olive oil, then mix all dry rub ingredients together and press firmly onto both sides and edges of each chop.
  2. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Sear the chops for 3 minutes per side. After flipping, add the 1 tbsp butter and baste the chops with the foaming butter for 1 minute.
  3. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  4. Rest the chops in the pan for 3 minutes, then plate, spoon pan drippings over the top, and scatter chopped fresh parsley over both chops to serve.

Notes

These chops are best eaten right away, but if you're cooking for a crowd and need a head start, you can apply the rub up to 8 hours in advance and keep the chops covered in the fridge. Pull them out 15 minutes before cooking so they are not ice-cold going into the pan, which would throw off the oven timing.
