Description

A simple garlic and black pepper marinade brings flavor to these quick weeknight skillet pork chops.

Ingredients

4 (1 1/2 inches thick) boneless center-cut pork chops
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper

Directions

1 Combine pork chops, Worcestershire, 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, and black pepper in a large, resealable plastic bag. Marinate chops in the mixture for about 30 minutes.
2 Heat remaining oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from the marinade and place into the skillet to brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat and let simmer, basting with marinade during cooking, until no longer pink in the centers, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
