Rub olive oil all over pork chops and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Warm a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add pork chops and sear until golden brown, about 7 minutes.
Flip pork chops and add 1 tablespoon of butter, sage and shallot. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the chops registers 135°F, about 7 minutes more.
Transfer pork chops to a plate to rest. Add remaining tablespoon of butter and lemon juice to skillet. Taste and add more salt and pepper as needed. Serve butter sauce over pork chops.
