Before you start

- Second skillet
Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.
Cook
- Chops
Dry pork and season with its salt and pepper portions. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high and melt ghee. Sear 4–5 minutes per side. Move skillet to the oven for 8–10 minutes, until pork reaches 145°F. Transfer to a plate under foil.
- Gravy
Put the chop skillet over low. Cook gravy garlic and rosemary in the drippings for 2–4 minutes, stirring constantly. Turn off heat and whisk in cream.
- Beans
Heat a second skillet over medium to medium-high. Melt butter with avocado oil. Add pre-steamed beans, sliced garlic, stock and their salt and pepper portions. Cover for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook about 5 minutes more until the liquid evaporates and beans brown in spots.
- Serve
Plate chops with gravy and green beans.
Where your attention goes
Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.

First-cook checks
- Source ingredient explicitly requires steamed beans; prep for steaming is not described and may not fit declared 10 min prep.
- Source chop count is not given; total is 32 oz bone-in, 2-inch-thick chops.
- The publisher lists 20 minutes of cooking but does not say whether the sides cook simultaneously or separately. No complete total time is provided.
- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.
- Adapted from theketoqueens.com. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.
- The publisher’s headline time does not cover every step in the method; no complete elapsed-time estimate is reported.
- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.
Leftovers
Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
