Ingredients

4 pasture raised pork chops
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons tallow butter
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the pork chops generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tallow and real butter to the skillet and let it melt.
Place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
Add the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Stir to coat the pork chops in the aromatic mixture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the cast iron pork chops with your favorite sides and enjoy!
