Ranch Recipe: Cast-Iron Meishan T-Bone Chop

Garlic-Herb Cast-Iron T-Bone Pork Chop

Ingredients: 1 thick Meishan T-bone pork chop, 1 Tbsp oil or rendered pork fat, 2 Tbsp butter, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 2 sprigs thyme or rosemary, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper.

Directions: Pat the chop dry and season generously. Sear in a hot cast-iron skillet with oil until deeply browned, then lower the heat. Add butter, garlic, and herbs and baste the chop as it finishes cooking. Rest before slicing so the juices redistribute.

Ranch Tip: Because Meishan pork is richly marbled, a hard sear followed by gentler finishing heat gives an excellent crust while keeping the interior juicy.
