JUICY OVEN BAKED PORK CHOPS - INSPIRED TASTE
Baked pork chops are a quick, healthy, and simple dinner. Our method ensures juicy, tender, and flavorful pork chops with little fuss. Use our seasoning suggestions — we especially love the roasted lemon wedges — or substitute with your favorite spice blends (we’ve shared some tips in the article above). We ask you to cover the pork with foil or parchment during baking. By gently cooking the chops this way, they remain juicy and become tender.

Steps:
- Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt and pepper — we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190° C).
- Heat the oil in a large oven-safe skillet — such as a cast iron pan — over medium-high heat. As soon as the oil is hot and looks shimmery, pat the pork dry, and then add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. While the pork sears, scatter half of the thyme over the side of the pork chops that are facing up.
- Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. (If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.)
- Scatter the remaining thyme over the seared side of the pork. Arrange lemon wedges around the chops, and then loosely cover with foil or tuck parchment paper around the pan. Slide the skillet into the oven to finish cooking. (If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the pork chops to a baking dish.)
- Bake 8 to 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. (Since cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes.) If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if the juices run clear when cutting into the chops.
- Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes. Serve with additional herbs, roasted lemon wedges, and a spoonful of pan juices on top.

10 EASY STEPS FOR COOKING THICK PORK CHOPS IN THE OVEN ...

- There are a lot of ways to cook pork chops, and unfortunately I can’t cover them in all here. However, I can show one of my absolute favorites, and the one that I think every home cook needs to know – Pan Roasting. A pan roasted pork chop (assuming you use the right techniques) has a great sear on the outside which creates little caramelized bit and pieces that have a ton of flavor. At the same time, the center of the pork chop is just cooked through, and remains both tender and juicy. And, with a pan roasted pork chop, you get the side benefit of pan drippings with which you can make a killer sauce. Check out my 10 steps below and on the video, and hope you next pork chop turns out absolutely perfect. How to Cook a Pork Chop – Pan Roasting In the Oven Pork Chop Prep Buy the right Pork Chop Before you even start cooking, you need to make sure your starting with the right meat. Buy a nice, thick pork chop. At least 1 inch thick, 2 or more is even better. Thin chops are easy to dry out and overcook…and generally more trouble than they are worth Brine & Season the Pork Chop Brining adds a ton of flavor and moisture to the chop, and lessens the risk of drying out the chop while you cook it. It’s easy to do, and if you have the time, I recommend it. But don’t stop at brining. You still need to season the pork chop with salt & pepper. You can use other spices as well, but those are a must. Bring the Pork Chop to Room Temperature Like most meats, it’s best to start cooking the pork chop when it’s at room temperature. If you take it right out of fridge, while it’s still cold, you can end up with a raw center. Cooking a Thick Pork Chop High Heat is Good Heat There are cuts of pork (like shoulder that you cook long & at low temp. Pork chops, are not one. Use high heat in the oven and on the stove top so you can get a good sear, and quickly cook the pork chop through, before it has time to dry out. Sear the Chop on the Stove Top Start cooking the pork chop in a pan, on top of the stove. Even a very hot oven, won’t sear the outside of the chop, before the inside is cooked. So you need to get a pan good and hot, and then lay the pork down, searing one side then the other. As the pork shop sears, don’t fiddle with it, or keep checking it. Just let it cook for 3 – 4 minutes, until it’s nicely browned. Flip and repeat. Sear the sides If your pork chop is very thick, you may also want to sear the side of the chop and render out some of the fat there. That makes it nice and tasty, and it's the same technique I use for baking pork tenderloin. Move to the oven Depending on the thickness of the pork chop you can cook it anywhere from 50 – 90% on top of the stove, but you’ll probably need to spend some time in the oven to get it fully cooked. Thin, boneless pork chops will cook much faster than thick/bone-in chops; so be prepared to move quickly. Cook to Medium/Med-Well These days, it’s safe to cook pork to medium or medium well – an internal temperature of 140 degrees. The most accurate way to judge that is with a meat thermometer, but with practice, you’ll be able to tell simple by touching the pork chop. What you should never do, is cut into the meat to “look” at it. That causes the juices to run right out of the meat. Again depending on thickness it may be anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to cook the chop. Note the bigger cooking mistake is overcooking – not undercooking Let the pork chop rest Right out of the oven, the juices are very active in the meat and if you cut into the pork chop they’ll flow right out. So let it rest outside the oven for 5 – 7 minutes before serving and cutting into it. Don’t let the drippings go to waste The brown bits on the pan when you’re threw cooking have a ton of flavor, don’t waste them. Pan sauces can get very complicated, but really all you need to do, is deglaze with a ¼ cup of wine. Add the same amount of chicken stock. Let it all reduce by 1/2, and then stir in a couple tablespoons of butter. Once you've got the perfect pork chop down, learn How to Cook the Perfect Pork Tenderloin!

- Perhaps the most common steak question I get is “How long should I cook Filet Mignon?” The short, but likely inaccurate answer, is “about 10-12 minutes”. However, the real answer, is a bit more complicated. The question is not a simple one…nor does it have a simple answer. In reality, how long you should cook your filet mignon depends on a number of factors, many of which are unique to your preferences, your filet, and even to your specific kitchen, stove, grill, and pan. The reality is, each time you cook a filet, the cooking time could be materially different. Fortunately, if you learn the fundamentals that drive cooking time, if you practice (i.e. cook) a little bit, and if you use some of the simple tools of the trade, you’ll figure out how long to cook each filet thrown your way. Follow the advice below, and you’ll be well on your way! How Long do you Cook Filet Mignon Let’s start at the end. Most filet mignon lovers are looking for two things: A crispy golden brown outside that has a crunchy texture, and salty beefy flavor A tender, juicy center cooked to their preferred temperature – between rare and well done To get the crispy crust, it’s best to use direct heat (a hot pan or grill), and it’s easy to visually tell when you have that crust established. But, that same heat does a poor job of getting the filet’s center to the proper doneness. So, you’ll want to use in-direct heat (like an oven) to cook the filet through to where you want it. And it’s impossible to visually tell how cooked the filet is on the inside. How do you want your Filet cooked? I like to cook filet mignon to medium rare…but I’m not going to judge you, if you want it cooked differently. However that is, it helps to know what internal temperature corresponds to what level of done-ness. So here you go: Rare Filet mignon: ~120 degrees Medium Rare: ~130 degrees Medium: ~140 degrees Medium Well: ~150 degrees Well Done: ~160 degrees So, now we know two things. First, we want to use direct heat to get a crisp crust on the outside. And second, we want to use indirect heat to bring the internal temperature up to the desired doneness. Time is the Critical Variable I like to start my filet mignon on a very hot pan or grill. About 3 minutes on each side to create that crust, without burning the steak. And that 3 minute time, is going to work whether the filet is thick or thin. However, once it’s seared, you vary the cooking time (with the indirect heat of an oven or closed grill) until the internal temp reaches the desired level. A thin filet mignon, will likely have an internal temperature of 130 right after searing both sides. If you want it med-rare, you’d take it immediately off the heat. But a thick filet mignon will still be raw in the center, needed more time to reach medium-rare, and even longer to get to medium or well-done. The time will also vary depending on the temperature of your oven or grill. As a general rule, I plan on the internal temperature of the filet increasing about 10 degrees for every 3 – 4 minutes in the oven. But, the safest, most accurate way to tell if you’re filet has cooked long enough is to use an instant read meat thermometer. And remember, once cooked, make sure to let the steak rest for 5 minutes before serving!
