Ingredients
Scale
Beef Chops
- 4 beef chops
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Garnish
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Season the Beef Chops: Generously season both sides of the beef chops with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to get hot, preparing it for searing the meat.
- Melt Butter: Add the butter to the hot skillet and let it melt completely, creating a base for the garlic flavor.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned, infusing the butter with garlic aroma.
- Cook Beef Chops: Place the seasoned beef chops into the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness, achieving a nice crust outside while retaining juiciness inside.
- Rest the Meat: Remove the beef chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring tenderness.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the beef chops for a burst of color and fresh flavor before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use beef chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if needed to maintain heat and proper searing.
- Letting the meat rest after cooking helps retain juices, making the chops more tender and flavorful.
- You can adjust garlic quantity based on preference for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
- If preferred, use clarified butter or ghee for higher smoke point during cooking.
