Pork Chops in Rosemary and Thyme

Pork Chops in Rosemary and Thyme

Author: Laura Bais
I really love dry herbs, especially when blended with butter. When together, they make great golden, aromatic and juicy meat. That's why I hope you will love these pork chops with rosemary and thyme.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces Pork chops (approximately 10 oz)
  • 5 tbsp Unsalted butter (approximately 75 grams)
  • 1 tsp Dry rosemary
  • ½ tsp Dry thyme
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

Instructions
 

  • Season the meat with salt, pepper, a dash of dry rosemary and garlic powder on each side. Pat them dry with a paper towel before doing that to make room for the seasoning to sink into the meat more.
  • If you have time, you should prep the pork chops earlier because they can sit up to 3 days in the fridge, or if you want to prepare them immediately, leave them for at least half an hour.
  • Once the pork chops are seasoned, heat up a non-stick saucepan over medium heat and add in the butter, dry rosemary, and dry thyme. When the butter melts and warms up, put the pork chops in.
  • Avoid overcrowding the saucepan because the meat will cook better if you leave some space between every two pieces of meat.
  • While the pork chops cook, occasionally spoon the melted butter from the saucepan and spread it over them.
  • Cook the pork chops for about 5 minutes per side or until they're nice and golden brown.
