Step 1
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and half the oregano on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Sear pork chops 3–4 minutes per side without moving until golden brown and cooked through to 145°F.
Step 4
Remove chops to a plate. Add garlic to the pan and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then don't burn.
Step 5
Stir in tomato, olives, lemon juice, zest, and remaining oregano. Simmer 2 minutes until bright and warm.
Step 6
Return pork chops to pan, spoon sauce over top, and serve immediately.
