Ingredients
Scale
2 1.5-2 inch pork chops
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons high-heat oil such as avocado or canola
Instructions
- Mix salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Cover both sides of the cops with the mixture, then place on an elevated rack in the fridge for about 12 hours. The elevated rack will allow some airflow on each side.
- Remove from fridge when ready to cook and let come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
- Heat a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and pork chops to pan.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until there is a golden brown sear on the outside and an internal temperature of 145° is reached.
