Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat pork chops dry with paper towels, then coat both sides generously with cajun seasoning.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear pork chops 3 minutes per side without moving them — edges should look deep golden.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat and let rest 2 minutes before serving.
