Garlic Butter Alberta Pork Chops
This great recipe can be paired with any of your favourite sides!
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in (centre cut) Alberta pork loin chops
- kosher Salt for seasoning
- freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter-divided
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped thyme
- 6 cloves garlic - minced
Instructions
- Generously season both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chops, 1 tbsp of butter, and sprigs of fresh thyme to the skillet.
- Cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the outside is golden and the internal temperature reads 145ºF (or a little below) with a digital meat thermometer.
- Add the remaining butter, minced garlic, and chopped thyme to the skillet. Use a spoon to drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the pork chops before flipping the pork chops over and spooning the garlic butter over the pork chops on the other side. Repeat for 1-2 minutes.
- Immediately remove pork chops from the skillet and serve with your favourite sides!
