Description

Juicy pork chops pan-seared to perfection, then simmered in a creamy onion and garlic gravy. Comfort food made simple and perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon seasoned salt

46 thick-cut pork chops (bone-in or boneless)

2 tablespoons butter, divided

1 cup yellow onion, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

1 1/2 cups beef broth (or chicken broth)

1/2 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

In a shallow dish, combine flour and seasoned salt. Dredge pork chops in mixture.

 

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear pork chops 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

 

Add remaining butter and onions. Cook 8–10 minutes until caramelized.

 

Stir in garlic for 1 minute, then sprinkle 1 tablespoon leftover flour into pan. Cook 1 minute.

 

Whisk in broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up brown bits.

 

Return pork chops to skillet. Cover and cook until internal temperature reaches 145°F.

 

Stir in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot


Notes

Use bone-in chops for maximum flavor or boneless for quicker cooking.

 

Add mushrooms for a heartier gravy.

 

For extra spice, stir in paprika or cayenne.
