Ingredients
Directions
Gather the ingredients. Twenty minutes before you start cooking, remove your pork chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Thoroughly dry the pork chops with paper towels. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat an ovenproof skillet (cast iron is ideal) on the stovetop for about 5 minutes. It's really important to get the pan as hot as you possibly can before adding the chops.
Once the pan is preheated, add about 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil. The pan will immediately start to smoke, but this is OK.
Add the pork chops to the pan and don't move them for 3 minutes.
Flip the chops over with a pair of tongs and transfer the pan to the oven.
Roast 6 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven.
Test for doneness by pressing your thumb in the center of a pork chop. It should spring back firmly against your thumb. If it feels soft, let it roast for another minute. The internal temperature with a thermometer should register 145 F to 155 F.
Remove the pan from the oven, transfer the chops to a plate, and cover with foil.
Let the chops rest for 3 or 4 minutes before serving.
Serve and enjoy.
