Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 bone-in pork chops
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Heat grill or skillet to medium-high temperature, ensuring surface is hot and ready for searing.
- Massage pork chops with olive oil, creating a light coating for enhanced flavor absorption.
- Generously sprinkle a blend of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and thyme across both sides of the meat.
- Place seasoned pork chops onto hot cooking surface, allowing them to develop a rich golden-brown crust for 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Lower heat and introduce butter and minced garlic, creating an aromatic infusion that enhances the meat’s flavor profile.
- Carefully pour chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce into the pan, creating a savory liquid that helps tenderize and moisturize the pork chops.
- Simmer the liquid for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and intensify its flavor while gently cooking the meat.
- Remove pork chops from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes, allowing internal juices to redistribute and ensuring a perfectly tender result.
Notes
- Select thick-cut pork chops for juicier, more flavorful results and better texture that resists overcooking.
- Create a spice blend variation by adding cayenne or chili powder for extra heat, catering to those who enjoy bolder flavors.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches 145°F internally, preventing dryness while guaranteeing food safety.
- Substitute dairy-free butter or olive oil for lactose-intolerant diners, maintaining the recipe’s rich cooking technique.
