  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. When very hot, add the chops and brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chops reach your desired doneness, about 2 to 4 minutes for rare to medium chops, 5 to 7 minutes for medium to medium-well.

  • Take the skillet out of the oven. Immediately place the chops on a plate to prevent overcooking. Let rest 5 minutes and serve.
