Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and coat on all sides with dry rub. Rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and pre heat to 400°F (204°C).

Step 3

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the meat on one side, about 3 minutes. Then flip the chop over and put the skillet in the oven.

Step 4

Bake the pork chops for about 6-10 minutes. It’s best to have a probe thermometer inserted into the meat (not touching the bone). When the temperature reaches 135° F, remove the chops.

Step 5

Add a pat of butter on top of the meat and rest it for 10 minutes.
