Winter is here! It’s time for comfort foods that are perfect for the cooler/colder weather.
This recipe was shared by Darci (the original creator of this site) and I have modified it to have enough servings for our larger family and added a few other recipe modifications that our family preferred.
Not only is this an easy recipe, it only takes about 15 minutes to fix and features just a few simple ingredients!
Delicious Butter, & Garlic Pork Chops Recipe
Ingredients
- Six Boneless Pork Chops
- 12 Tablespoons of Butter
- 16-20 sage leaves, finely chopped up
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 heaping spoonful of Tallow
- Salt & Pepper
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Next heat 1 heaping spoon of tallow over medium-high heat, as you’re going to want to get a nice sear on these pork chops.
- While your pan and tallow are heating up, dry off your pork chops with a paper towel, and add salt and pepper to both sides of them.
4. Once your pan is heated up, place your pork chops in the pan, and they should sizzle right away.
5. Cook on both sides for 3-5 minutes to get a nice sear that will be golden brown.
6. Next place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 6-10 minutes at 400 degrees or until pork chops reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit. You may have to adjust your cooking time based on the thickness of your pork chops.
While your pork chops are in the oven, you will make your sage, butter, and garlic sauce.
7. Using the same pan that you just cooked your pork chops in (leave the little pieces of pork and tallow – it adds great flavor!), place your butter in the pan and melt it on medium-low heat.
8. The butter should start foaming up, swirl the pan around a few times.
9. Once the butter stops foaming, add in the chopped sage leaves and minced garlic. You only need to add this in for about 30 seconds over the heat, you will be able to smell it when it’s done. Don’t burn your garlic, as that’s the worst you can do!
10. Remove your sauce from the heat.
11. Once your pork chops come out of the oven, add them to the butter, sage, and garlic mixture and spoon it over top of them. Let rest for 5 minutes and then serve with plenty of butter topping.

I really like the Smithfield brand. I think they have a good quality meat. Living in the midwest, pork is very popular, and really is the 'other white meat' If prepared right it is as lean as other lean meats. This recipe sounds great.

My family has the tradition of eating pork for New Years day; this year we are a day off because I had a sick child yesterday so today I'm cooking pork. I might just try this recipe instead of my old standby.

When I was a child, the only pork chops we had were overcooked-my mother was afraid of parasites! These look super.
