Steps

Prep and Season

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe skillet (like cast iron), heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Sear and Sauté

Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the pork chops in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until a beautiful golden-brown crust forms. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and paprika, stirring for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Roast and Finish

Pour the broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Return the pork chops to the skillet, then transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 63°C (145°F). Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with the pan juices.

Extra Tips

► For a perfect crust, make sure your pan is very hot before adding the pork chops.

► Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, making it even more tender.

► Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme for an extra layer of flavor.
