1. Drizzle the pork chops with olive oil and season liberally with pepper, salt, lemon juice, and zest. Ensure to coat all areas with the ingredients, then let the meat marinate for one hour or overnight.
2. Place a large skillet on the stovetop and turn on the heat to medium-high. Let it grow hot, then add the pork chops (don’t pat them dry).
3. Cook the pork chops for four minutes, then flip, and cook the other side for another four minutes. Both surfaces should develop a deep brown and firm touch.
4. Check the doneness for an internal temperature of 145F. Then, set the pork chops down and let them rest for five minutes before serving.
