Ingredients
Mushroom 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, or more to taste
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Pork Chops:
-
cooking spray
-
4 center-cut pork chops
-
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
Directions
-
Make gravy: Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Sauté onion and garlic in hot butter until onion is browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove onion and garlic to a plate.
-
Stir flour slowly into remaining butter in the pan. Cook and stir over low heat until flour is deep brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Gradually stir in broth. Return sautéed onion and garlic to the pan. Stir in mushrooms and parsley. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove gravy from heat.
-
Cook pork chops: Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Cook in the hot skillet until browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
-
Pour in gravy from the saucepan. Cover and cook over low heat until pork chops are tender and no longer pink in the centers, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Recipe Tips
Make sure to use 3/4-inch-thick pork chops.
