Ingredients
Scale
Beef Chops
- 4 beef chops
Butter and Seasonings
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Season the beef chops: Generously season both sides of the beef chops with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to get hot before adding ingredients.
- Melt the butter: Add the butter to the hot skillet and let it melt completely, ensuring it coats the surface.
- Sauté the garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté briefly until it becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
- Cook the beef chops: Place the seasoned beef chops in the skillet with the garlic butter. Cook each side for 5-7 minutes depending on thickness, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Rest the meat: Remove the beef chops from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute for optimal juiciness.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the beef chops before serving to add a fresh, herbaceous finish.
Notes
- Allow the beef chops to come to room temperature before cooking for more even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature for desired doneness: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet to ensure proper searing; cook in batches if necessary.
- You can substitute parsley with thyme or rosemary for a different herb flavor.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
