Seared pork chops in a sage butter sauce, a perfect main dish! Serve with potatoes or a large salad.

Ingredients

• 2 12-oz pork chops, 1 inch thick
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Step 1

Rub olive oil all over pork chops and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

Warm a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add pork chops and sear until golden brown, about 7 minutes.

Flip pork chops and add 1 tablespoon of butter, sage, garlic, and shallot. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the chops registers 135 degrees F, about 7 minutes more.
