Pork Chops

Method

Preparing the Pork Chops

  1. 1

    Season the Pork Chops

    Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork Chops

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

Making the Gravy

  1. 3

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

  2. 4

    Create the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to cook the flour.

  3. 5

    Add Liquid Ingredients

    Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, paprika, and the bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 6

    Finish the Gravy

    Let the gravy simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in the butter until melted.

Combining and Cooking

  1. 7

    Combine Chops and Gravy

    Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, spooning the gravy over the top. Cover and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf and serve the smothered pork chops hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
