Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork chops and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes, until the underside is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3–4 minutes, until equally browned.
