Steps
Method 1 of 3: Simple pork chops
Step 1. Purchase some fresh pork chops
You can decide whether to buy pork chops with or without bone. A cut of meat without the bone tends to be less fat, but also less flavorful after cooking. Conversely, a bone-in chop will be less expensive and will release much more flavor by cooking.
Step 2. Rinse the meat and pat it dry with absorbent paper
Step 3. Season the chops
Sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. If you wish, you can add other spices such as paprika or garlic powder.
Step 4. Pour the butter into a pan and heat it over medium-high heat
Let the butter melt completely before cooking the meat. Make sure the pan is hot.
Step 5. Arrange the chops in the pan
Try not to overlap the steaks. Don't worry if you have to cook the chops in stages because your pan isn't big enough to accommodate them all.
Step 6. Cook the chops for 3-4 minutes and then turn them over to the other side
If the steaks are 2 to 3 cm thick, let them cook a little longer.
Step 7. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes
Step 8. Remove the chops from the heat and arrange them on a serving plate
