Pan-Seared Pork Chop with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared lean pork chops seasoned with aromatic herbs served alongside tender roasted asparagus spears for a crisp and savory dinner.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz pork loin chop
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch asparagus
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Snap the woody ends off the asparagus and place the spears on the prepared baking sheet.
Pat the pork chop completely dry with paper towels to ensure a high-quality sear.
Season both sides of the pork chop evenly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Drizzle 0.5 tbsp of olive oil over the asparagus, tossing to coat, and roast for 12-15 minutes until tender.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Sear the pork chop for 4-5 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust develops and the internal temperature hits 145°F.
Transfer the pork to a plate and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the roasted asparagus and serve immediately alongside the pork.
