Herb-Crusted Pork Chops with Garlic Butter Sauce (Page 2 ) | July 26, 2025

Preparing the Pork Chops

1. Season the Pork: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and parsley.

Cooking the Pork Chops

3. Sear the Pork: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
4. Add Herbs and Butter: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and the mixed herbs to the skillet. Once the butter melts, spoon it over the pork chops continuously for an additional 2-3 minutes. This will infuse the herbs’ flavor into the meat and ensure the chops are juicy.
5. Finish with Lemon: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the pork chops for a zesty finish.

Serving

6. Rest and Serve: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring each bite is succulent.
7. Presentation: Serve the pork chops with extra drippings from the pan drizzled over the top and garnish with additional chopped parsley.

Conclusion

These herb-crusted pork chops with garlic butter sauce are a testament to the power of simple ingredients coming together to create a dish bursting with flavor. The aromatic herbs and rich butter enhance the natural juiciness of the pork, making this recipe a must-try for any pork lover.

Enjoy this delightful dish with a side of roasted vegetables or a light salad to balance the richness of the meat.
