Basics

Ingredients

  • 2 Mangalitsa Pork Chops
  • 3 Tbsp Butter
  • 3 Sprigs Thyme or Rosemary
  • Garlic Lemon Salt
  • Pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and let it melt until shimmering but not smoking.
  2. Pat pork chops dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Place them in the hot skillet.
  3. Sear without moving for 3-4 minutes to develop a golden crust, similar to cast iron pork chops techniques.
  4. Flip and sear the second side for another 3-4 minutes while spooning hot butter over the top.
  5. For thicker chops, transfer the skillet to a 375°F oven and cook an additional 5-8 minutes.
  6. Check pork chop internal temperature and remove at 145°F.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices, and enjoy.
