Bone-in Pork Rib Chop

Ok.  Summer's over and I shouldn't waste my time cooking, so I'm keeping it simple.  Found a single bone-in rib chop at the Harris Teeter.  Perfect!  The bone-in rib chop is by far my favorite pork chop.

I just season with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic and let sit on counter for at least 2 hours to come to room temperature.  I really think lots of time to really come up to room temperature is way better.  That way the cooking process has a smaller temperature change to produce, and you can get a wider span of the center to is cooked the perfect amount.  Here it is seasoned and sitting on the counter for 2 hours.
It looked the same for the full 2 hours, so I only need one photo.  Very efficient!

Next, I pan sear.  And I take photos.

Now, I let it rest for 5 minutes or so.  Which gives time for another photo and an appearance of my old hefty mac knife.
And then I slice ... and take another photo cuz that's really fun.
See.  I got the doneness in the center pretty good.  A lot of rosy pink cooked meat.
