- Be sure to pat the pork chops dry before searing them. This will help them brown evenly.
- Sear the pork chops over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. This will help develop flavor and color.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the pork chops for an additional 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Let the pork chops rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- To make the roasted poblano and corn salsa, simply roast the poblano peppers and corn until charred. Then, combine them with chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice.
- Serve the pork chops with the roasted poblano and corn salsa, along with your favorite sides.
