Ingredients

Ingredient	Quantity
Boneless pork chops	4
Butter	1/2 tablespoon
Olive oil	1/2 tablespoon
Cumin	1/2 teaspoon
Salt	1/2 teaspoon
Sage	1/2 teaspoon
Garlic powder	1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper	1/4 teaspoon
Cayenne pepper	1 teaspoon
Paprika	1 teaspoon

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the cumin, salt, sage, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika, mixing thoroughly to create a spice blend that will elevate your pork chops.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet or electric skillet over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F.
Generously coat each pork chop with the spice mixture, ensuring an even layer for maximum flavor before placing them in the hot skillet.
Sear the chops for approximately 5 minutes on each side, checking for doneness as you go. The internal temperature should reach at least 145°F for optimal safety and flavor.
If the pork chops remain pink after cooking, reduce the heat slightly and continue to cook, turning them as needed, until they are fully cooked and juices run clear.
For an exquisite pairing, consider serving these chops with deviled green beans, which can complement the spicy profile of the dish.
