Description
Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy
Ingredients
4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups beef or chicken broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 sprigs fresh thyme)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Season and Sear the Pork Chops:
Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Mushrooms and Onions:
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and onions. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and golden. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Make the Gravy:
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Slowly whisk in the broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Simmer the Pork Chops:
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the mushroom gravy over the top. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Serve:
Plate the pork chops with a generous spoonful of mushroom gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
