Preheat oven to 375F.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, and
set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter,
thyme, and garlic. Set aside.
In a cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over
medium heat.
When the skillet is really hot, add the pork
chops. Sear until golden, about 2 minutes per
side.
Pour the garlic butter mixture over the pork
chops.
Place the skillet in the oven, and cook until
the pork chops reach an internal temperature of
145ºF, about 10-12 minutes. The time depends on
the thickness of your pork chops.
Remove from the oven. Using a spoon, pour some
of the butter sauce left in the skillet onto
the pork chops before serving.
