Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over mediumhigh. Season pork chops all over (including the fat cap) with salt and pepper. Cook pork chops until bottom side is golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn and cook on other side about 1 minute before turning again. Repeat this process, turning about every minute, until chops are deep golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 135°, 8-10 minutes (cooking time will depend on thickness of chops).
- Remove pan from heat and add sage, garlic, and butter, smashing garlic into butter. Tilt skillet and spoon foaming butter and drippings over pork chops, making sure to baste the fat cap as well as the rib. Transfer pork chops to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes (pork will come to 145° as it sits).
- Cut away bone and slice pork about 1/4" thick. Serve with any juices from the cutting board spooned over top.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality pork chops: Opt for thick-cut, bone-in pork chops with consistent marbling for the best flavor and texture.
- Tenderize your pork chops: Pounding the pork chops with a meat mallet or using a marinade can help tenderize them and ensure even cooking.
- Season your pork chops generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a classic flavor profile. You can also add your own favorite herbs and spices to taste.
- Cook your pork chops over medium heat: This will help prevent them from drying out and ensure that they cook evenly throughout.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness: The internal temperature of a cooked pork chop should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium or 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
- Let your pork chops rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute and results in more tender and flavorful meat.
