Ingredient
Searing meat in a heavy skillet before transferring it to the oven is a brilliant way to lock in juices while achieving a proper golden crust. As someone who loves the process of cooking even if I am not a pro, I find this method foolproof for getting that perfect contrast between a salty, crisp exterior and a tender centre.
The secret here is the generous application of salt. Because these chops are so thick, you need a heavy hand with the seasoning to ensure the flavour penetrates all the way through. The olive oil helps conduct the heat, creating a savoury sear that smells incredible the moment it hits the pan.
