How to Pan-Sear Pork Chops



Are you suffering from overcooked pork with texture that resembles old shoe leather? Well suffer no more. Repeat after me: no more overcooked pork! Follow along for perfect pan-seared pork chops every time.

High-quality pork chops, like Omaha Steaks Boneless Pork Chops, taste amazing when cooked properly and should be moist and slightly pink in the center. The easiest and most accurate way to ensure this is to use a digital meat thermometer when cooking. The FDA-recommended safe cooking temperature for pork is 145°F. Not 160°F or 165°F. You can safely stop cooking your pork when it reaches 140°F and allow it to rest for 5–6 minutes before serving. The meat will continue to carryover-cook to 145°F after you remove it from the heat source.

Pork chops cooked to 160°F or higher are going to be dry and flavorless, especially if you’re not using a sauce.

  1. My method is to sear them on the pan at high heat to develop the crust and render the fat. I preheat my oven to 350, and I let the pork chops roast in there for about 18 minutes. I also add a small amount of beef broth and a good amount of butter. Add just a little beef broth, though. By the time it's done cooking, all the broth should have evaporated. They come out insanely good every single time. Adjust the oven time based on the weight and thickness of your chops.
