Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Pork: Trim excess fat from the pork chops and season generously with seasoning salt. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Sear the Pork Chops: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops and cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a plate and set aside. (Cook time: 8 minutes)

03

Step

Build the Gravy Base: Pour chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up the flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add mushrooms, onion, and butter. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. (Cook time: 7 minutes)

04

Step

Create a Slurry: Transfer 2 tablespoons of the sauce from the skillet to a small bowl. Add flour to the sauce and mix with a fork until smooth and no lumps remain. This slurry will thicken the gravy. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Thicken the Gravy: Pour the flour slurry back into the skillet and stir continuously until fully combined with the sauce. Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth gravy. (Cook time: 3 minutes)

06

Step

Simmer to Perfection: Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. (Cook time: 15 minutes)

07

Step

Finish and Thicken (if needed): Remove the lid and continue cooking until the gravy has reached your desired thickness and the pork chops are no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). If the gravy is not thick enough, mix in a bit more flour, a teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved. (Cook time: 5-10 minutes)

For richer flavor, use bone-in pork chops.
Substitute beef broth for chicken broth for a deeper, more robust flavor.
Add a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the gravy while simmering for added complexity.
If you don't have seasoning salt, use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Adjust the amount of flour according to your preference for gravy thickness.
