Instant Pot Pork Chops With Mushroom Gravy
Description
Start by searing the pork chops in olive oil, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Mushrooms, onions, and garlic are sautéed in the Instant Pot until softened and caramelized, creating a flavorful base for the gravy. Chicken broth, soy sauce, and Italian seasoning are added and the pot is deglazed to loosen browned bits. The pork chops return to the pot to cook under high pressure for 15 minutes, after which a natural release lets the flavors settle.
The sauce is thickened with flour and enriched with heavy cream, then garnished with fresh parsley for color and brightness. The resulting dish balances tender, juicy pork with a creamy, earthy mushroom gravy, making it hearty and comforting.
Serving pork chops with the creamy mushroom gravy helps bring moisture and savory character to the meat. This meal can be paired with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables to complement the gravy.
For best results, let pork chops come to room temperature before cooking, pat dry for better searing, and rest after cooking for juiciness. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for 2-3 months. Reheat gently on stovetop or oven to prevent drying out.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pork chops at least 1" in thickness, bone-in
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 8 ounces mushrooms cleaned and sliced
- 1 large onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ cup chicken broth low sodium
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
Instructions
- Prep Instant Pot: Set the Instant Pot to the Saute setting and add the olive oil to heat.
- Sear Pork Chops: When the olive oil is hot add the pork chops and sear on all sides. Lightly season the chops with salt and pepper as they're searing. Do it in batches if not all the chops fit. Remove the chops from the Instant Pot and set aside.
- Add Mushrooms: Add the mushrooms, onions and garlic to the Instant Pot and saute until the moisture in the mushrooms has evaporated and started to brown a bit.
- Add Rest Of Ingredients: Add the chicken broth, soy sauce and Italian seasoning to the pot and stir well. Make sure to deglaze the pot by scrubbing all the brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
- Cook: Transfer the pork chops back to the instant pot and close the Instant Pot lid. Set the valve to sealing and set the Instant Pot to Manual/High Pressure for 15 minutes. When the time is up, let the Instant Pot release naturally for 10 minutes then release remaining pressure.
- Remove Pork Chops: Open the lid carefully and transfer the pork chops to a cutting board or serving platter. Set the Instant Pot to the Saute setting and bring the sauce to a simmering.
- Make Gravy: Whisk the flour with the heavy cream and pour into the Instant Pot, a bit at a time until desired thickness. Cook for a couple minutes until the gravy thickens. Taste the sauce for seasoning and adjust as necessary with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Serve pork chops with mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes or rice.
Notes
- Allow pork chops to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking for even doneness.
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels before searing to achieve a good crust.
- Cooking times may vary depending on pork chop thickness; monitor for doneness.
- Store cooked pork chops and gravy in airtight containers; refrigerate up to 3-4 days.
- Reheat on stovetop over medium heat or in the oven at 375°F to retain moisture.
- Freeze leftovers in airtight containers for 2-3 months for longer storage.
