Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the pork dry and season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear the pork 3 minutes per side without moving, until browned; center stays pink.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tbsp butter and garlic, then cook 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon the garlic butter over the pork twice, then rest off heat 3 minutes before slicing.

  6. Step 6

    Garnish with parsley and serve alongside warm mashed potatoes and sautéed greens.
