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 shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear pork chops 2.5 minutes per side without moving. They should be golden brown; don't flip until edges look opaque.
Step 4
Transfer chops to a sheet pan. Scatter rosemary sprigs and smashed garlic around them.
Step 5
Roast at 400°F for 5 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 145°F in the thickest part.
Step 6
Squeeze fresh lemon over the chops and serve immediately with pan juices spooned on top.
