Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork loin chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 ounces White mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat the pork loin chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and beginning to turn golden.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom and onion mixture. Stir well to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and season the gravy with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the pork loin chops smothered in mushroom gravy. Enjoy with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables on the side.
