Smothered Pork Chops with Onion Gravy

Ingredients

• 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• salt (to taste, for seasoning chops)
• black pepper (to taste, for seasoning chops)
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for searing)
• 1 onion (chopped)
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for the gravy)
• 1.5 cup chicken or beef broth (for the gravy)

Steps

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the pork chops to the hot skillet and sear until golden brown on both sides. Remove the chops from the pan and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and cook until they are caramelized and fragrant.

5. 5

   Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.

6. 6

   Slowly pour in the broth while whisking or stirring constantly to create a smooth gravy.

7. 7

   Add the pork chops back into the skillet with the gravy.

8. 8

   Let the pork chops simmer in the sauce for a few minutes until cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

9. 9

   Serve the smothered pork chops warm, ideally alongside mashed potatoes and green beans.

Notes

The transcript mentions serving this with mashed potatoes and green beans for a complete meal. For a thicker gravy, let it simmer slightly longer before adding the pork chops back in.
