Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

If there is a fat cap on the sides of the chops, make a few vertical slits through them, so the chops will not curl as they cook.

Blot chops dry with paper towels, and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.

Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add oil. Add chops and cook 2 minutes. Turn and cook 2 minutes more.

Place rosemary sprigs atop each chop. Tilt skillet to allow melted butter and oil to pool on one side.

Spoon butter and garlic mixture over chops occasionally while cooking 2 minutes. Remove rosemary, turn chops, replace rosemary and cook, basting chops occasionally, cooking 2 to 3 minutes more or until chops are 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) in the center when tested with an instant-read thermometer.
