Cooking them in a smoking-hot cast iron pan creates a beautiful sear, locking in their natural juices while developing a flavorful crust. To complement the meat’s bold character, this recipe introduces a touch of indulgence with a luscious butter finish — because let’s be honest, butter has a way of making everything even more delicious.
Make the butter: In a small bowl add the butter and beat with a fork until smooth and creamy. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Turn the butter out onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a small "log" no more than one inch thick. Wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Cook the Rib Chops: In a cast iron pan (if available) add the olive oil (you can also use butter) and heat to medium-high heat. Add the chops to the pan and cook for 2 minutes (or until the undersides are golden brown). Flip and cook until the other side is also golden brown.
Add Butter & Let Rest: After you've removed the Rib Chops from the pan place 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each and cover them with foil to keep warm. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes and then serve.
