BEST GARLIC BROWN SUGAR PORK CHOPS
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 bone-in pork chops
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add pork chops and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side.
- Temp pork chops – remove from heat at 135 degrees (trust me!)
- Melt remaining tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
