How to Cook Pork Chops on the Stove

Easy Stovetop Pork Chops recipe (2 servings)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pork chops, bone-in
  • 1 teaspoon dry spice rub
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Heat a cast-iron skillet at medium-high heat, then vertically cut through some of the day surrounding the pork chops. Sprinkle the spice mix generously on the pork chops and rub it into the meat.
  2. Add the oil to the pan and let it smear the whole surface. Apply salt to each side of the pork chops and place them in the pan at once. Make sure the thickest and boniest chops are at the center of the skillet but space them properly.
  3. Sear one side for about 2 minutes, then flip over and cover the skillet with a lid. The steam will finish the cooking. Lower the heat and leave for about 6-12 minutes, depending on the thickness.
  4. Properly done pork chops should feel a bit tough when pressed with the finger while not being too hard at the same time. Or check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to detect the 145°F proper time for doneness.
