Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
0.5 cup cooking oil

Instructions

To help the seasonings and flour adhere, do not pat the pork chops dry.
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Lightly coat each side with flour, using the back of a spoon to ensure even distribution.
Heat oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place the pork chops in the hot skillet and pan-fry for about 4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Avoid moving the chops until it's time to flip them.
Once the edges are nicely browned, flip the pork chops and continue pan-frying for another 4 minutes, or until they are no longer pink inside and the outside is browned. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Reduce heat if browning too quickly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
