Simple Seasoning for Maximum Flavor
When it comes to seasoning, Proto advocates for simplicity. A combination of salt and pepper is used, allowing the pork's natural flavors to shine through. He explains that moisture is the enemy when aiming for a good sear and a nice brown crust, hence the pork chop should be dry before it hits the skillet. The salt is applied generously on both sides, ensuring that the crust will be nicely seasoned and the interior remains juicy.
