FALL APART TENDER PORK CHOPS & GRAVY OVER RICE



Fall Apart Tender Pork Chops & Gravy Over Rice image

Provided by [email protected]

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pork loin chops, about 1 inch thick (boneless pork loin or bone in), trim fat and pat dry
Goya Seasoned Salt (with or without pepper / or your own favorite), garlic powder, and regular black pepper, to taste
6 Tbl. Minerva Dairy Garlic & Herb Butter, i*divided/i
1 (8 oz.) container fresh sliced mushrooms
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1 large onion, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup cold water
2 packets (.87 oz. each) dry beef or pork gravy mix, either works
1/4 tsp. Kitchen Bouquet
1 (10 1/2 oz.) can beef consommé
1 (10 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
(1 Tbl. sour cream, optional at end)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300ºF.
  • Season chops on both sides with seasoning salt, garlic powder and pepper to taste.
  • In cast iron skillet (that has a tight-fitting lid), melt 3 Tbl. butter until hot and almost smoking over medium heat. Brown chops on each side, turning every 2 minutes so that they don't curl. When nicely browned on each side, about 6 - 8 minutes total, remove to a small plate.
  • Add 3 more Tbl. butter to pan, melt, and add mushrooms and thyme. Sauté until golden, pile onto each chop.
  • Turn off heat and move pan to a cool spot.
  • Add onions to the bottom of the pan separating into rings, tossing in the butter. Carefully place chops with mushrooms on top of onions.
  • In small bowl, whisk together rest of ingredients. Pour slowly and evenly over chops.
  • Cover with lid, and pop into 300ºF oven and bake for 2 1/2 hours. (*3 hours if super thick-cut.) Do not lift lid during baking.
  • Make rice during last 30 minutes of baking time.
  • To serve, place chops onto servings of rice, whisk leftover gravy sauce in pan until creamy, cooled down a little and thickened a bit (this will take a few minutes), and ladle (lots!) of gravy over chops and rice. (*For a richer sauce, whisk in 1 Tbl. sour cream.) Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Fall-Apart Tender Pork Chops image

The title of the recipe says it all. I've made this many times for both friends and family and everyone that's tasted it has loved it. You need to use 1" or thicker boneless loin chops. I sometimes double the sauce because its so delicious. I wish I could take credit for this recipe, but its from my favorite cookbook, that will remain nameless since my dog ate the cover and I can't remember the title.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the pork chops. This will help to sear the outside of the chops and prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium-high heat until they are browned on both sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook the pork chops until they are cooked through. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
  • To check if the pork chops are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chop. The internal temperature should read 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the chops more tender.

Conclusion:

These fall-apart tender pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The pork chops are cooked in a flavorful sauce that is made with apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and spices. The chops are then cooked until they are fall-apart tender and served with a side of mashed potatoes or rice.
