Categories     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 8-oz Boneless pork chops
1 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 large Onion ((sliced into thin half moons))
2 cloves Garlic ((minced))
1 tbsp Fresh thyme ((or 1 tsp dried thyme))
1 cup Chicken broth, reduced sodium
1.5 oz Cream cheese ((cut into small chunks))

Steps:

  • Season the pork chops on both sides with sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear on both sides, about 3 minutes per side without moving, until browned. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low or medium. Using the same dutch oven, saute the sliced onions for 15-20 minutes, until caramelized.
  • Once the onions are caramelized, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Add the minced garlic and thyme leaves to the dutch oven. Saute for about a minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken broth to the dutch oven. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for about 2-3 minutes, until it gets thicker and the volume is reduced by at least 1/4.
  • Remove from heat. Add the cream cheese. Stir in the cream cheese until it melts into the sauce.
  • Return the pork chops to the dutch oven and spoon the sauce and onions over them. Cover with the lid and bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through. (Time will vary depending on the thickness of your pork chops - use a thermometer to check and cook to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).)

4 large bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 large yellow onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound (500g) bone-in pork chops,* (about 3/4-1 inch thick.)
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large onion, (thinly sliced)
pinch of salt
4 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
1/2 cup chicken broth, (divided)
3/4 cup buttermilk or heavy cream
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. Season pork chops with garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, seasoning salt, pepper and olive oil.
  • Dredge each chop in the flour; shake off the excess and KEEP THE REMAINING FLOUR.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet or pan over medium heat. When hot, fry the pork chops in a single layer on each side until golden browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove pork chops from the pan and keep warm.
  • In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
  • Add in sliced onions and add a pinch of salt. Cook while stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes. (Add in 1 tablespoon of the chicken broth if the pan becomes too dry.)
  • Add the garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the remaining flour to the pan. Mix the flour into the onions and cook to dissolve, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the liquid reduce and thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in the buttermilk (or cream) and simmer for 1-2 minutes until thick and creamy.
  • Return the pork chops to the pan. Coat them in the sauce and let simmer until the pork is completely cooked through, about 5 minutes (or until the pork is cooked to your desired doneness). (The sauce will continue to thicken due the coating on the pork. If too thick, add a little cream or broth to thin out until reaching your desired consistency.)
  • Taste test and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Garnish with the chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm.

PORK CHOPS SMOTHERED IN ONION GRAVY



Pork Chops Smothered in Onion Gravy image

This recipe calls for 4 pork chops because that's about what you can fit into a standard frying pan, though I've squeezed 6 smaller chops in before. I recommend you double the recipe because my husband eats them two at a time. Serve the smothered pork chops over cooked rice with your favorite vegetable side dish and cornbread.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons seasoned salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
4 pork chops, 3/4-inch thick, or more to taste
½ cup self-rising flour
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, or more to taste
1 teaspoon water, or as needed
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Mix seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika together in a bowl; rub about 3/4 teaspoon spice mixture onto each pork chop. Thoroughly coat each pork chop with flour, saving remaining seasoning and flour for the gravy.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat; cook pork chops in the hot oil until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a plate, retaining drippings in the pan. Cover pork chops with paper towels.
  • Cook and stir onion in the drippings in the heavy skillet over medium heat until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Add mushrooms, remaining flour, remaining spice mixture, and about 1 teaspoon water if needed to moisten; cook and stir until onion is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir 2 cups water into onion-mushroom mixture until gravy is smooth; bring to a boil. Place pork chops in the gravy, reduce heat, cover skillet, and simmer until pork chops are tender, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

4 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • Stir flour slowly into butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until flour is deep brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Gradually stir in broth. Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, and parsley. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  • Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper and brown in the hot pan, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork chops by cutting into one of them. The meat should be opaque throughout, with no pink in the center.
  • For a more flavorful gravy, use a combination of beef broth and chicken broth. You can also add a splash of white wine or apple cider to the gravy for extra flavor.
  • If you want a thicker gravy, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the gravy. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Then, whisk the slurry into the gravy until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Serve the pork chops smothered in onion gravy with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Pork chops smothered in onion gravy is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The pork chops are juicy and tender, and the onion gravy is rich and flavorful. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
