INGREDIENTS

  • Gravy

    • 🧈 ¼ cup butter
    • 🧅 1 onion, thinly sliced and quartered
    • 🧄 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 cups beef broth
    • 🍄 1 ½ cups sliced baby bella mushrooms
    • 🌿 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Pork Chops

    • Cooking spray
    • 4 center-cut pork chops
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

STEPS

1

Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Sauté onion and garlic in hot butter until onion is browned, about 7-10 minutes. Remove onion and garlic with a slotted spoon to a plate.

2

Stir flour slowly into remaining butter in the pan. Cook and stir over low heat until flour is deep brown, about 7-10 minutes. Gradually stir in beef broth. Return onion and garlic to the pan. Add mushrooms and parsley. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly, then remove from heat.

3

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, then brown each side for 5-7 minutes.

4

Pour gravy into the skillet with pork chops. Cover and cook over low heat until pork chops are tender and cooked through, about 30-40 minutes. Ensure internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
