Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1.5 cups beef or chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Dredge each pork chop lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onions are soft and the mushrooms are browned, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits for added flavor.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, mixing well to combine into a creamy sauce.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the pork chops are tender and cooked through, and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt and pepper.
Serve the pork chops hot, topped with the creamy sauce and garnished with fresh chopped parsley. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side of your choice.
