Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless) Adjust cooking time for thickness.
  • 1 medium Onion (yellow, red, or white) Yellow is classic, but any onion works.
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms (button or cremini) Slice them up.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh or jarred is fine.
  • 2 cups Broth (beef, chicken, or vegetable) Beef broth adds richer flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Flour To help the gravy thicken.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter or oil Mix for flavor and color.
  • to taste teaspoon Salt and pepper Basic seasoning.
  • optional Pinch of thyme For extra flavor if desired.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Pat the pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the sliced onions and mushrooms.
  5. Sauté until the onions and mushrooms are soft and beginning to brown.
  6. Add the minced garlic and stir again.
  7. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  8. Slowly pour in the broth while scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  9. Allow the gravy to bubble and thicken.
  10. Nestle the pork chops back into the skillet, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store in a sealed container in the fridge. Reheat gently on the stovetop while adding a splash of broth to maintain moisture. The flavor deepens after a day, making leftovers even better!
