2.    Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, and set aside.

3.    In a small bowl, mix together the butter, thyme, and garlic. Set aside.

4.    In a cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

5.    When the skillet is really hot, add the pork chops. Sear until golden, about 2 minutes per side.

7.    Place the skillet in the oven, and cook until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145ºF, about 10-12 minutes. The time depends on the thickness of your pork chops.*
