Paleo Garlic Herb Pan-Seared Pork Chops

Thick, bone-in pork chops seared to a deep golden crust in a cast iron skillet — this is the kind of weeknight dinner that looks and tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did. A simple rub of sea salt, turmeric, and ginger gives the meat a warm, aromatic depth before it ever hits the pan, and smashed garlic with fresh rosemary and thyme perfume the coconut oil as the chops finish cooking. The real magic happens when bone broth and apple cider vinegar hit those caramelized pan drippings, reducing into a glossy, savory sauce that ties everything together. Every single ingredient here is clean and grain-free, with no dairy, no refined oils, and no fillers hiding in the sauce — just whole foods doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Basting the chops with the herb-infused oil as they cook keeps the meat juicy and layered with flavor all the way through. A five-minute rest before serving makes sure none of that hard-earned moisture escapes. Spoon the pan sauce generously over the top and finish with fresh parsley if you have it — this one is genuinely hard to improve on.
