Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium (finely diced) onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 8 ounces (sliced) white button mushrooms
- 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (freshly ground, or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sear the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C). Transfer the pork chops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and let it melt over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until they release their moisture and begin to caramelize.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well, cooking for about 1 minute to remove the raw taste of the flour.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, mixing well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
Return the pork chops and their juices to the skillet, spooning the mushroom Dijon sauce over the top. Let them simmer gently in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to reheat and absorb the flavors.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
