French the bone.
Clarify some butter
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Heat a cast iron pan very hot.
Salt and pepper the chop.
Add some clarified butter.
Pan fry the chop several minutes on each side.
Put the frying pan with the chop in the oven to finish cooking.
Remove the chop from the pan and plate it (them).
Add a little more butter to the pan and sauté some minced shallot.
Deglaze the pan with a dry red like a zin and a little stock.
Allow the wine and stock to reduce.
Finish the sauce with sweet (unsalted) butter and pout over the chop(s)

I would be tempted to start the meal with sliced beefsteak tomato and
onion
with blue cheese crumbles.

How thick do you recommend the chop to be Dimitri?
