Grandmother's Pork Chop Dinner
A classic, hearty pork chop dinner with rich gravy and homestyle sides.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken or beef broth
- cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- tsp black pepper
- tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Season and sear the pork chops: Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the onions and garlic: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions until soft. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Make the gravy: Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir to combine. Gradually pour in broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and let simmer until thickened.
- Simmer the pork chops: Return the pork chops to the skillet, cover, and let simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes, until tender.
- Finish with cream: Stir in heavy cream and let cook for another 5 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice and steamed vegetables.
Notes
- Use bone-in pork chops for the best flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or herbs as needed.
- For extra tenderness, let the pork chops rest for 10 minutes before serving.
