A good pork chop doesn’t ask for much. When it’s cut thick, left on the bone, and raised with care, the work is already done long before it reaches the pan. Cooking it properly is less about technique and more about restraint—seasoning with intention, managing heat, and knowing when to stop. This is the kind of chop we reach for when we want a meal that feels considered without being fussy. Familiar, but elevated. Straightforward, but satisfying.
