Ingredients
Scale
Beef Chops
- 4 beef chops
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the beef chops evenly.
- Prepare the beef chops. Rub each beef chop thoroughly with olive oil to help the seasoning stick and to keep the meat moist during baking.
- Season the meat. Generously sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides of each chop to infuse bold and balanced flavors.
- Arrange the chops. Place the seasoned beef chops on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Bake to perfection. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness, typically medium-rare to well-done.
- Rest before serving. Remove the chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes; this helps retain juices and enhances tenderness.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, you can broil the chops for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium.
- Resting the meat is crucial for juiciness; don’t skip this step.
- Feel free to customize seasoning with herbs like thyme or rosemary for added aroma.
