Equipment

Skillet Oven safe skillet

Ingredients

4-5 Pork chops bone in
4 Garlic cloves
1 teaspoon Mustard powder
2 teaspoon Paprika smoked
1 teaspoon Black pepper
2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce optional
2 sprigs Thyme
1 sprig Rosemary, oregano, or ½ teaspoon dried of each
2 sprig Cilantro or parsley
1½ teaspoon Salt adjust if needed
½ cup Butter or oil.
½ Lemon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400℉.
In a chopper, finely chop the garlic cloves and herbs.
Put pork chops in a bowl. Using a knife, score or make deep slits on the fat side, cutting through about ½ inch.
Add the chopped mix and the rest of the ingredients except the butter and lemon.
Using your hand, mix until pork chops are well coated.
Melt the butter in an oven-safe hot skillet on medium heat. Skillet has to be scorching hot.
NOTE: If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can just use any skillet but make sure you bake on a baking sheet or pan as I did, and also because my chops couldn't fit in my skillet.
Sear each side of the pork chops for 1 minute so that it has a charred look.
Repeat process for the rest of the chops but make sure you wipe the skillet before putting next batch and add more butter if needed.
Transfer seared chops into a baking pan, put some butter slices on each and sprinkle lemon juice.
Bake in a preheated oven for 8 -10 minutes till cooked through or when the internal temperature is 160℉.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate, garnish with parsley and enjoy with your favourite side.
