Ingredients
- 2 wild boar chops bone-in thick cut
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 4 tbsp Butter divided
- 3 Garlic cloves smashed
- 3 Fresh Rosemary sprigs
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Remove the boar chops from the package and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides with salt.
- Meanwhile, preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking.
- Starting with the fat cap, sear the chops. By starting with the fat cap, you not only sear the fat, giving it a lovely crisp texture, but it renders the fat, adding it to the pan to help the chops sear.
- Flip the chops to their side and sear for 3 to 5 minutes, until brown.
- Flip again and remove from heat.
- Add the butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan.
- Using a spoon, baste the butter over the tops of the chops.
- Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Cook for another 7 to 10 minutes until the chops reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chops to a cutting board to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before plating.
- Season with a pinch of flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Notes
Serve with mustard cream sauce.
