Step 1
Pat beef chops dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with sea salt and cracked pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high until it just begins to smoke, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Sear chops 90 seconds per side without moving—edges should char dark. Don't flip more than once.
Step 4
Transfer chops to a plate. Add minced garlic to the hot skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Return chops to skillet briefly to coat with garlic oil. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Squeeze half a lemon over the chops. Rest 2 minutes, then serve immediately.
