- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add minced garlic, sautéing for about a minute.
