Garlic and Pepper Skillet Pork Chops

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic and Pepper Skillet Pork Chops.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious pork chop adventure, grab a large resealable plastic bag and toss in the pork chops along with Worcestershire sauce, three tablespoons of olive oil, crushed garlic, and a generous sprinkle of coarsely ground black pepper.

2. Step 2

   Seal the bag tightly, giving it a gentle shake to ensure everything is well mixed, and let those flavors mingle as you marinate the pork chops for about 30 minutes.

3. Step 3

   While the chops soak up all that goodness, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

4. Step 4

   Once the oil is shimmering, carefully remove the pork chops from the marinade and place them in the hot skillet.

5. Step 5

   Sear the chops on all sides until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.

6. Step 6

   After achieving that perfect sear, reduce the heat to medium and let the pork chops simmer.

7. Step 7

   Remember to baste them occasionally with the leftover marinade to keep them juicy and flavorful.

8. Step 8

   Cook until the center is no longer pink, which will take about 15 to 20 minutes.

9. Step 9

   To ensure they’re perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

10. Step 10

    Once done, let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor.

    Enjoy your mouthwatering pork chops, and savor the delightful blend of flavors you’ve created!.
