   Sear the Pork Chops

   In a heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the 1 tablespoon butter with the 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the 4 pork chops for 3 minutes on each side, until they're nicely browned.

   Lower the heat to medium and continue cooking for another 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the chops are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. While the chops cook, turn on your broiler.
