Ingredients
  

  • 2 thick-cut bone-in pork chops about 1½ inches thick
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter plus extra for basting
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat: Heat oven to 400°F (200°C).
