Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (sliced) yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 8 ounces (sliced) mushrooms
- 1.5 cups chicken or beef broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon (chopped, optional) fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper. Dust them lightly with 1 tablespoon of the all-purpose flour, reserving the remaining 1 tablespoon for the gravy.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken or beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes, until the gravy thickens slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme (if using). Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Cover the skillet and let the chops simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve the pork chops with mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
