Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Pan Seared Beef Chops can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Beef Chops: Remove the beef chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Season the Chops: Generously season both sides of the beef chops with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until melted and bubbling.
4. Sear the Chops: Add the beef chops to the hot pan. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them.
5. Flip and Add Garlic: Turn the beef chops over and add the minced garlic and remaining butter to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, basting the chops with the melted butter and garlic.
6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
7. Rest the Chops: Once cooked, remove the beef chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the beef chops before serving. Optionally, serve with lemon wedges for a zesty finish.
