Pan Seared Ribeye Pork Chops

When I was growing up my Mom made a lot of pork chops...probably as much as she made chicken. I loved her simple fried pork chops she fried in that cast iron skillet. Nothing fancy but oh so flavorful! She always served them with creamy mashed potatoes, fresh green beans from her garden, cornbread and there was always a bowl of homemade apple sauce on the table.
My Mom taught me how to buy them..., trim them and cook them. I always buy bone-in ribeye pork chops and I look for the ones with the most tenderloin still attached. Then I pretend they are ribeye steaks and cook them exactly the same way. I made these today and they are just out of the oven....

4 bone-in ribeye pork chops
2 tablespoons Star Fine Foods Extra Virgin Olive Oil    
2 tablespoons of butter
2 cloves of garlic, whole                                                    
1 sprig of rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste








  1. Oh Marty, this meal sounds delicious!

  2. I can't wait to try this! My porkchops are always overcooked and dry. I hardly ever cook them because of that.Thank you Marty

  3. This is so popular at our house, even the pickiest small guests take seconds. Perfection. ..thank you!!

  4. Did your Mother use Rosemary and Garlic when she cooked them?

    1. Only salt and pepper and maybe a little garlic powder. You are doing a high heat sear so I woul skip the other herbs.
