Preheat the oven to 375°F(190°C).
Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, rosemary and garlic.
Heat oil in a large oven-proof pan over medium high heat.
Add the pork chops and sear on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
Pour butter mixture evenly over pork chops.
Transfer pan to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 °F(63° C) on an instant read thermometer. Remove from oven, transfer pork to a plate and rest for 5 minutes before serving.

The pork chops should be 1-inch thick for even and faster cooking. If you use thicker or thinner chops, you’ll want to watch the cook time to not over or under cook.
After cooking the pork, let the meat rest for a few minutes. This will keep the juices in the pork, and prevent dry pork chops. You can cover it in foil while resting if you are worried about the meat cooling too much.
Try this recipe with other types of meat like chicken or lamb. The garlic rosemary butter sauce goes really well with all of these types of meats.
Each oven is different, so the cooking times may differ. Cook it for more or less a few minutes, depending on your oven. The best way to be sure you’ve reached the temperature is by using a meat thermometer. Cook to 145° F(63° C) for medium-well and 150° F(65°C) for slightly more cooked.
