Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork chops in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 2–3 minutes until golden. Transfer the chops to a plate; they will not be cooked through at this stage.
