I have been getting braver with Cast Iron Cooking lately and this Garlic Butter Cast Iron Pork Chops Recipe was a huge hit with my whole family. Now pork chops are already a favorite of all, but you can only cook pork chops the same way so many times.

 

These pork chops turned out so juicy, cooking in butter is clearly the way to go for this. (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

Garlic Butter Cast Iron Pork Chops Recipe Ingredients:

 

  • 2 Sticks Butter
  • Minced Garlic
  • Thyme
  • Salt
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • Pork Chops
  • Olive Oil

 

 

How TO Make garlic butter pork chops:

 

Brush your pork chops with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Now I let my pork chops set out for about half an hour before I cook them. I like to have the meat more at room temperature before I cook it. We also had a combination of bone-in and boneless chops which either style of pork chops will work for this recipe.

In a microwaveable bowl have your butter, garlic, and thyme ready to be melted.  

 

Note, you can add a bit more salt and pepper into the butter if you want to as well.

 

Pour some olive oil into your cast iron pan and turn a burner to medium heat, this will help the meat not to stick to the pan.

 

Start melting your butter in the microwave, I do this in 15-second intervals so I can mix in the seasonings a bit as the butter melts. 

 

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

 

 

Once your oil is warmed up place the pork chops and then cover with your melted butter.

 

 

**I did use a bacon splatter screen to stop some of the splashings of the butter and while the pork chops cooked**

Allow the pork chops to cook for about five minutes on each side and then move the pork chops to the oven.  I made Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes (You can see the recipe -> here) pair up with the pork chops.

Allow the pork chops to bake for about 25 minutes.  I did flip mine halfway through for evenness, and because I wanted to see how they were cooking as well.

I took the time to add on more Thyme just to add in more flavor you can skip this step if you want or are afraid of overseasoning.

    The only thing I didn’t see in the recipe, was when to add the minced garlic. I assumed, that when we added the melted butter & Thyme into the cast iron skillet, the minced garlic was added at that point. We found it to be an excellent result as you described, finishing the cooking in the skillet in the oven. You are right, it was juicy and very tasty following your recipe. We drizzled the garlic and butter & Thyme left over in the skillet over the pork chops before serving & it was scrumptious. Flipping over the chops halve way through the 375 bake was an excellent idea as well. Thanks!!!

    Cooked this while teaching my 9 year old how to use my cast iron. It was so good! I have a hard time making pork chops not dry. This was perfect. I figured out when to add the garlic eventually.

      This is kind of a flavor to taste. I go by how it is smelling to decided how much to add to it.
