A flavorful and tender pork chop recipe with a paprika-infused crust, perfect for a hearty meal.
Preheat your oven to 250°F (low heat).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps maintain the desired temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Mixing the spices thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavor.
Rub the spice mixture generously onto both sides of the pork chops.
Let the seasoned pork chops rest for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the butter is hot but not burnt before adding the pork chops.
Dredge the pork chops in the flour, coating them evenly.
Shake off any excess flour to prevent clumping.
Sear the pork chops in the skillet until browned on both sides.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a delicious crust.
Transfer the seared pork chops to a baking dish and cover tightly with foil.
Covering with foil helps retain moisture during baking.
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for about 2 hours.
Check the internal temperature to ensure the pork chops are fully cooked.
Serve the pork chops hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
