Ingredients
  

  • 4 thick cut pork chops, 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200 C.
  • Rub olive oil over all sides of the pork chops, about a tablespoon or so. Generously salt both sides and pat that in well and the same with the pepper. Let the chops sit out.
  • Preheat your oven to 200 C. Once the oven is hot, heat a oven proof pan, cast iron would be ideal, over high heat.
  • When the pan is almost smoking, add the chops and sear for 2 minutes on each side.
  • Place the pan in the oven and figure about 15 minutes for a 1 1/2 inch thick chop, 20 minutes for 2 inch thick. Internal temp should be 63 C / 145 F. Remove from oven and let rest for for 5 minutes.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and a vegetable for a complete meal.

Notes

I will price this the next time I pick up boneless pork chops. This is low cost however.
