3 bone-in pork chops in mushroom gravy in a sauté pan

As a personal chef, the most frequently asked question I get asked is what is my most requested dish. As each client has different dietary considerations and taste preferences, I am always preparing a wide variety of recipes each time I cook.

But comfort food dishes are popular requests no matter what diet a client is following. My Smothered Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy is on the list of top comfort food dishes for my clients. French Onion Chicken Bake, Homestyle Turkey Meatloaf with Mushrooms, Oven Fried and Baked Eggplant Parmesan, and Cabbage Roll Meatballs are ones that I make over and over again for my clients.

bone-in pork chops, mushrooms, beef stock, onion, garlic, cream, butter, flour

the ingredients

  • bone-in pork chops ~ my favorites are Berkshire bone-in pork chops
  • poultry seasoning ~ a blend of spices that enhances the flavor of chicken, turkey, pork, and veal. It is a combination for dried sage, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram.
  • kosher salt
  • pepper
  • salted butter
  • olive oil
  • yellow onion
  • button mushrooms
  • garlic
  • all purpose flour ~ gluten free flour can be substituted to make this recipe gluten free.
  • reduced sodium beef stock ~ homemade is best, but a good packaged one is good too!
  • heavy cream ~ my first choice for the ultimate creaminess.
  • fresh parsley ~ dried parsley works too!

what are the best pork chops to prepare?

Hands down, the BEST PORK CHOPS are bone-in Berkshire pork chops. The meat is more tender, juicy, and flavorful than any other pork chop. Look for evenly marbled chops. The marbling of fat and the darker meat make for pork chops that are not only rich in flavor, but they are super tender. After tasting Berkshire pork chops, you will never go back to any other variety. Ask for them at your local butcher store. They are also available at most well stocked meat departments of grocery stores.

the recipe details

This is one of the most DELICIOUS 30 MINUTE RECIPES!

Season thick, bone-in pork chops with poultry seasoning, kosher salt and pepper.

Sear the chops in a combination of salted butter and olive oil.

Sauté onions, mushrooms and garlic with more salted butter in the same pan that was used to sear the pork chops. This is the base for the rich and tasty mushroom gravy.

Sprinkle the sauteed vegetables with all purpose flour and stir to combine.

Add reduced sodium beef stock and simmer the gravy for a few minutes. Pour in some heavy cream to add richness to the savory mushroom gravy with onions and garlic.

Simmer the gravy to thicken and enhance the flavor.

Nestle the pork chops into the gravy. Smother the golden brown chops with the mushroom gravy and simmer for a few more minutes. The chops will be ultra tender, and the gravy become velvety delicious!

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve!

some cooking tips

  • Take the chill off the pork chops ~ To ensure that the pork cooks evenly, remove them from the refrigerator about 15 to 20 minutes before preparing them. Just remove them from the packaging and place them on a plate on the counter.
  • Pick bone-in pork chops that are about 1-inch thick~ It is easy to overcook thin pork chops. Thicker bone-in chops are my go to for delicious juicy and tender pork chops.
  • Use a combination of fats to sear ~ Using part olive oil and salted butter adds the most flavor to the pork chops and the mushroom gravy. Since the oil has a higher smoke point, it helps prevent the butter from burning and becoming bitter.
  • Resist the urge to poke and prod the chops ~ to get a nice golden brown crust on the chops, leave them be as they sear.
  • Use the same pan to make the gravy ~ After searing the pork chops, use the same sauté pan to make the gravy. The little roasty bits of pork left in the pan add wonderful flavor to the gravy.
  • Make pork chops with mushroom gravy dairy free ~ leave out the heavy cream and substitute your favorite nondairy “milk.” Some delish choices are coconut milk, nondairy heavy cream, cashew milk or almond milk. You can even leave out the cream all together and just use more beef stock too.
  • Cook the pork chops to perfection ~ An instant read thermometer is one of my go to kitchen utensils. After finishing the gravy, tuck the chops back in the pan and smother them with the velvety gravy. Simmer until the chops reach 145 degrees F for perfectly cooked pork.

Instructions

  1. Place pork chops on a cutting board. Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with the poultry seasoning, kosher salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon salted butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. When the butter has melted and begins to foam, add the pork chops. Depending on the size of the pork chops and the pan, you may need to sauté the chops in batches. Sauté for 5 minutes per side or until the pork chops are golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove the pork to a platter and cover with foil.
  3. In the same sauté pan over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons for salted butter. When the butter has melted, add the onions and mushrooms. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. The onions should be translucent and the mushrooms slightly browned.
  4. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms. Stir to combine and and cook for about 1 minute.
  6. Slowly pour the beef stock into the sauté pan. Stir to combine. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue stirring and cooking for 3 to 4 minutes. The gravy should start to thicken slightly.
  7. Slowly pour the heavy cream into the gravy. Simmer for 1 to 2 more minutes. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper.
  8. Add the seared pork chops back to the pan. Spoon the gravy over the chops and simmer for 5 to 8 more minutes. The internal temperature of the pork chops should be about 145 degrees F.
  9. Sprinkle the pork chops and mushroom gravy with the parsley and serve.

    This looks great! However, you might want to correct your instructions that say you can make it “gluten free” by substituting non-dairy milk for the cream, because that in fact would make it DAIRY free, not gluten free. To make it gluten free one would substitute cornstarch, potato starch, etc. instead of the flour.

    Very tasty recipe. Everyone loved it. I added a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the sauce but other than that followed recipe as is. Will keep this on the dinner rotation.
