- 4 1/2-1 inch thick pork chops
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Sprinkle seasoning on both sides of pork chops. Let sit out on counter for 30 min.
- Place oil in large cast iron skillet (or heavy stainless steel skillet) and heat until medium hot.
- Place chops in the pan, placing them so they don't touch each other.
- Cook each side slowly (lower heat if necessary) until nice and golden brown on each side.
- This will take about 4 minutes per side.
- Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid.
- Turn off the heat, and let the chops sit for about 8- 10 minutes, depending on thickness of chops.
- After removing chops, you can de-glaze the pan with a little water, wine or broth and a touch of butter and serve as a sauce.
