Once all the pork chops are seared, fit them all into the pan at the same time. Slide the frying pan into the oven. Cook the pork chops for 15 to 20 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted in the pork reads 140Â°F (60Â°C).
Sprinkle the salt, thyme and pepper on the pork chops. Let sit on counter top for 30 minutes. Place oil in large cast iron skillet (or heavy stainless steel skillet) and heat until medium hot. Place chops in the pan, placing them so they don't touch each other. Cook each side slowly (lower heat if necessary) until nice and golden brown on each side. This will take about 4 minutes per side. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid. Turn off the heat, and let the chops sit for about 8- 10 minutes, depending on thickness of chops. After removing chops, you can de-glaze the pan with a little water, wine or broth and a touch of butter and serve as a sauce.
