Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 beef chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1 inch thick)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the beef chops and pat them dry to ensure a good sear. Season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  2. In a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Sear the seasoned beef chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms; avoid flipping too often.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, add butter and minced garlic to the pan; baste the chops with melted butter for about 2 minutes.
  5. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
