• 4 boneless pork loin chops
• 1 clove garlic, cut in half
• 1 Tbs. paprika
• 1 tsp. seasoned salt
• 1 tsp. sage, crumbled
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. unsalted butter

Rub both sides of pork chops with garlic. Combine next 5 ingredients in a bowl. Press seasoning mixture into pork chops with hands to adhere. Melt butter in a heavy nonstick skillet over high heat. When butter just begins to turn golden, add pork chops. Reduce heat to medium and sauté 8-10 minutes, turning chops frequently, until dark brown on the outside and cooked throughout.
