How to make Pan-Seared Pork Blade Chop

Combine pork, lemon slices, chopped garlic, oil, and 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary in a shallow baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.

Let pork sit at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.

Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. Scrape marinade off pork, place pork in skillet, and immediately reduce heat to medium. Cook, turning about every 5 minutes, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chop registers 57°C, 20–25 minutes. During last 10 minutes, add head of garlic to skillet, cut sides down, and cook until golden.

Transfer to a cutting board; let pork rest at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with lemon wedges, cooked garlic, and rosemary sprigs.

DO AHEAD: Pork can be marinated 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
