Step 1
Mince garlic and zest the lemon. Mix garlic, zest, oregano, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 2
Pat pork chops dry. Rub the garlic-oregano mixture all over both sides and let sit 5 minutes.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear pork chops 3 to 4 minutes per side without moving. They should be golden and an instant-read thermometer reads 145°F.
Step 5
Squeeze half a lemon over the chops. Rest 2 minutes before serving.
