Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
• 4 (1 1/2 inches thick) boneless center-cut pork chops

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine pork chops, Worcestershire, 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, and black pepper in a large, resealable plastic bag. Marinate chops in the mixture for about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Heat remaining oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from the marinade and place into the skillet to brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat and let simmer, basting with marinade during cooking, until no longer pink in the centers, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
