Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tomahawk pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the tomahawk pork chops.
  3. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and continue cooking for about 12-15 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  5. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures maximum tenderness.

Notes

To ensure even cooking, allow the pork chops to come to room temperature before searing. For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the pork chops in a mixture of your favorite herbs and spices for a few hours or overnight before cooking. Resting the cooked pork chops is crucial to retain their juiciness. Tent them loosely with foil and let them sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve the tomahawk pork chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple fresh salad, for a well-rounded meal.
