- Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Allow at least 10 minutes for your oven to heat up thoroughly.
- Generously season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
- Melt 60g of butter in a small pan over low heat. Mix in the minced garlic and chopped thyme, cooking for about 2 minutes.
- Heat 15ml of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the hot skillet and sear for 2 minutes on each side.
- Pour the garlic-thyme butter over the seared pork chops and baste for about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 10-14 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
