Steps
- Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and sage. Rub the seasoning blend evenly onto both sides of the pork chops.
- Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork chops and sear until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 140–145°F, about 5-6 minutes per side.
- Step 3
Remove the pork chops to a plate. Let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Step 4
Plate each pork chop with applesauce on the side. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
