Pan-Seared Pork Chops with Roasted Asparagus
Tender pork chops pan-seared to a golden brown and served with crisp-tender roasted asparagus finished with a bright squeeze of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz boneless pork loin chop
1.5 cups asparagus spears
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the asparagus with half of the olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Pat the pork chop dry with paper towels and season both sides with garlic powder, thyme, and the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chop for 4-5 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Remove the pork from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to keep it juicy.
Serve the pork chop with the roasted asparagus and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
