Ingredients
- 1 lemon juiced
- 10 cloves garlic diced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 6 pork chops about 1/2" thick- add more time in the oven for thicker chops
- 2 tbsp ghee or clarified butter
Instructions
- Add juice of one lemon, diced garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper into a bag with pork chops.
- Marinate at least 3 hours, up to one day before making.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat a heavy cast iron pan on medium high until very hot.
- Add ghee until melted.
- Add in pork chops, without crowding the pan.
- Cook until well seared on each side- about 3 minutes.
- Add to oven and cook until internal temperature reaches 145-150 degrees. If you go by the older guidelines, it used to be 160 degrees, but the USDA now says 145 is good. Note that pork can still sometimes look a touch pink even when fully cooked, so go by the temperature.
