Step 1
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear pork chops 2 minutes per side without moving them. They should be golden brown with a crust.
Step 4
Add rosemary, garlic, and white wine to the pan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 8–10 minutes.
Step 5
Pork is done when it reaches 145°F at the center. Squeeze lemon juice over the top.
Step 6
Serve immediately with pan juices spooned over the chops. Discard herb sprigs.
