Rub about a olive oil over each pork chop. Season all sides generously with salt. Pork needs a heavy amount of salt to bring out the flavour. Salt with a heavy hand when it comes to a thick pork chop. Season lightly with pepper as well

Sear the pork chops for 2 minutes on each side
Transfer skillet immediately to the oven and cook until the internal temperature of the chop reaches 145 degrees, about 25 minutes
Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving
