  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Remove pork chops from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.
  3. Pat pork chops completely dry with paper towels on both sides.
  4. Sprinkle seasoning blend evenly on both sides of each chop and let them sit for 5 minutes.
  5. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until very hot.
  6. Add olive oil to the hot skillet and place the pork chops in without moving them for 5 to 6 minutes.
  7. Flip each chop and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, adding butter, thyme, and garlic during the last minute.
