Preparation
- Rinse pork chop and pat dry.
- Combine garlic butter, garlic, thyme, parsley, herbs, ginger, salt and pepper in a bowl. After mixing these ingredients together generously coat the pork chops evenly covering it completely. Marinate overnight or up to 1 hour if you are preparing it straight away.
- Heat a large cast iron or skillet over high heat then add olive oil. Before adding the pork chops remove any visible garlic pieces to prevent it from burning too quick.
- Add pork chops and cook on each side for 1 min. Use a spatula to press the meat so it creates a nice sear on each side. Reduce to medium heat, flip chops after every minute for 10 mins.
- After 10 mins turn off the stove. Add garlic butter and thyme. Once butter is melted use a spoon to coat both pieces of meat 5-10 times. Allow chops to rest for 4 mins before slicing.
- Serve the pork chops with salad or your favourite sides.
- ENJOY!
