Prepare the pork chops:
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper on both sides.

Sear the chops:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Add butter and baste:
Lower the heat to medium. Add the butter to the pan. As it melts, spoon the melted butter over the chops for extra flavour and moisture. Cook for another 3–5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F).

Rest and serve:
Transfer the chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with a squeeze of lemon, if desired, and your favourite sides.
