Ingredients

  1.  2 medium-sized heritage breed pork chops
  2.  kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  3.  4 tablespoons grass-fed butter — melted (use ghee if you're doing whole30)

  5.  2 cloves garlic — minced
  6.  1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  5. When the skillet is really hot, add the pork chops. Sear until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
  6. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the pork chops.
  7. Place the skillet in the oven, and cook until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145ºF, about 10-12 minutes. The time depends on the thickness of your pork chops.*
