Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Chops

    Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork Chops

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring to combine. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add the heavy cream, thyme, and paprika. Stir until the mixture thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    Combine and Simmer

    Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the pork is cooked through and tender.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve the smothered pork chops hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
