instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350F and put the rack in the middle position. Generously sprinkle the chops on all sides with the salt and pepper.
2. Heat the oil in an oven-safe sauté pan until it begins to lightly smoke. Add the chops, with plenty of room between them, and let them develop a rich brown crust on the first side, 3-5 minutes. Flip them and brown 2 minutes.
3. Put the chops in the oven until they reach an internal temperature of 135F for medium-rare. Remove the chops to a plate and let them rest, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes.
